I agree about listening to scientists, which seem to say it's alright for China, India etc to open coal mines, but not ok for West. There will still be plenty of open cast sites available though
I would say China is probably the worst example you could pick but certainly they do seem to be putting a lot of investment into renewables which can only be a good thing.
They are opening 2 a week = 104 a year, I don’t believe our 1 is drastically going to make a big difference.
They are still opening them though, you could say they have adults in charge compared to the last few shambles here. They know you cannot use renewable only, take note labour and greens
Despite what the activists say, we can't just switch from fossil fuels to a more environmentally friendly fuel over night, probably not even over the next 10-20 years. It's a no brainer to me that we should be using our own resources rather than importing while we phase it out. We also need to be cracking on with the new nuclear power plants.
