agreed, but them should have come on stream before we cut out the fossil fuelsJust facts. We should have invested in nuclear not coal...

We didn't cut out fossil fuels, we went all in on fossil fuels actually and the mistake was thinking cheap supply would last forever.agreed, but them should have come on stream before we cut out the fossil fuels
Do you think people will give a flying **** about the climate sitting in the dark freezing to death?Nope. If you think this is bad then think again. Runaway climate change would be 1000x worse.
We are sitting on hundreds of years worth of coal and shake shaleWe didn't cut out fossil fuels, we went all in on fossil fuels actually and the mistake was thinking cheap supply would last forever.
of coarse we did, we went down the wind power route, which proved some yrs you have less wind which equalled less power and then we had to buy on open market as we had cut coal etc t6hat could have been there as a back up, whats left in uk now 2 coal fired stations maybe? not sure unless google,lolWe didn't cut out fossil fuels, we went all in on fossil fuels actually and the mistake was thinking cheap supply would last forever.
Funny that we are in a lot better shape than most.How any govt can allow itself to be potentially held to ransom by foreign govt's over something essential a spower is beyond me.
This all started 40 yerars ago when the tories destroyed the coal industry out of spite, but of course never replaced that internal supply, NOT ONE industrialised nation closed down coal - we did though. Now look where we are...

You do realise natural gas is a fossil fuel, right?of coarse we did, we went down the wind power route, which proved some yrs you have less wind which equalled less power and then we had to buy on open market as we had cut coal etc t6hat could have been there as a back up, whats left in uk now 2 cola fired stations maybe? not sure unless google,lol
No it won'tAnd it'll be staying in the ground.

In the grand scheme of things, knocking the levys on the head for a couple of years and telling the green lobby to **** off whilst the current crisis is happening is not a terrible idea.Nope. If you think this is bad then think again. Runaway climate change would be 1000x worse.
Yes it will. Do you seriously think we are going back to coal power now?No it won't
i am just giving examples of what we have got to hand to help this crisis, im on about both energy sides, ppl have electric heating as well as gas, gas is fossil? hmm let me guess would that be something to do with those gas fields maybe ,lolAnd it'll be staying in the ground.

unfortunately we are in this mess because of climate change deniers. we could have been far closer to net zero by now if people hadn't kicked the can down the road like you are suggesting 25 years ago.haha, i know you rather folk die, thats typical green response, **** everyone as long as we get to net zero
And that electricity is generated with a mix of sources the largest of which is gas.i am just giving examples of what we have got to hand to help this crisis, im on about both energy sides, ppl have electric heating as well as gas, gas is fossil? hmm let me guess would that be something to do with those gas fields maybe ,lol
The Germans are, and they have Greens in government...Yes it will. Do you seriously think we are going back to coal power now?![]()
Isn't that what Germany's been doing?.Yes it will. Do you seriously think we are going back to coal power now?![]()
serious? 2 ******* days of high temps, which btw was awesome, 76was worse not as hot but far worse in terms of damage, i rememeberunfortunately we are in this mess because of climate change deniers. we could have been far closer to net zero by now if people hadn't kicked the can down the road like you are suggesting 25 years ago.
yes it is really difficult now, but blaming people wanting green and coming out with crap like "you would rather people die" is the attitude which got us here. when temps are hitting over 40 degrees in countries where that never happens, mass flooding , radical weather patterns. yeah it has happened before on a planetary scale but these changes have come over 1000s of years not half a century.
how many people have died in the last few months due to the crazy weather. at least it is possible to wrap up warm and you can use a hot water bottle rather than heat a whole room.
but unless you can afford Aircon (which itself is terribly.wasteful) it's a lot harder to cool down in a heat wave......
I am not just on about here, I am talking increased disasters world wide. I can't believe anyone is still refusing to accept it is a thing. madness....... I genuinely am shocked that still people don't believe it.serious? 2 ******* days of high temps, which btw was awesome, 76was worse not as hot but far worse in terms of damage, i rememeber
They are building new coal power plants? Because we have very few left so if these people think we will be going to coal we will have to build a crap load of new ones.The Germans are, and they have Greens in government...
