  WTF? It's in Somerset!
  
  £14.4m from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
  
  Only surprised that some wide-boy has not sold them a couple of acres of Brazilian Rain Forest, which may or may not exist, to 'offset their carbon footprint'.
  
  That autistic school-dodging doom-goblin's got a lot to answer for.

  I can't see how this can possibly go wrong?

  Hint. By the time these schemes are meant to show a profit most of the councillors will be pushing up the daisies anyway leaving others to 'learn by our mistakes'.

  According to one study, switching the entire world to renewable energy could pay for itself in just six years.
  
  
  However, there is one important question. Do we have the necessary metals and resources? And if we do, at what cost to the environment?

  We do need to address these issues instead of keep shelving for future generations

  Can't wait for Labour's investments in green energy.

  As lubricants, yes - of course. They don't need to burn billions of litres of the stuff though. Not quite sure what your point is.
