Wigwam, name me one source of energy that does not have subsidies. Renewables are the least subsidised. Factor in damage to the environment, people’s health etc and the case for renewables are even more compelling.
Rox the fact is if we don’t treat the environment with respect we will pay a heavy price, indeed we are paying that price already. I have little respect for the powers that be but I have no doubt we are nearing the tipping point with regards to our environment.
Brydo is absolutely right to emphasise the fact that this country is not meeting its environmental obligations and its up to people like us through our actions and targeted pressure to encourage them to do so before it’s too late.
