I see the real environmental problem being that fossil fuels are running out. At least that means that any global warming will be limited as we are forced to run down our consumption!
Now they’re talking about building MORE gas-fired power stations. When they decided in the 80’s to build lots of ‘clean’ gas-fired power stations, that resulted in our North Sea gas reserves being used up at twice the rate previously predicted.
Now we need to import natural gas from Russia, the Gulf and the Far east and still they talk about building more gas-fired power stations. That seems crazier than any talk of building new nuclear ones!!
