Reg
What about all the old people that will be freezing to death because of the extra 20% that will be added to uk electricity bills to pay for your fantasy green world?
And what about the impact of 800 coal power stations presently under construction by china and India, to produce the things in our shops
Maybe there industrial pollution will not drift over Europe
Fingers crossed

Reg! Reg? Reg We need you now. We need guidance to help us on the quest to save us all. I've posed some really important questions that have to be answered urgently. How can we follow you and copy your example to reduce our carbon footprint. Time is running out. Even Charlie is telling us all on his twitter feed tonight that fracking isn't that bad.
What do we need to do? Five things. Surely you must be able to help us all?

So let me get this straight - Our side are losing the argument so it's imperative that the opinions of our opponents should be censored.
Hardly liberal surely?
........Or maybe it is.

the main problem i have with fracking is that it won't reduce bills but just give us a guaranteed domestic energy supply.

That's not necessarily the case. It's only the warmists who are pushing that line along with overseas gas companies.
Even if it were the case I'd rather be using good, British gas than any foreign alternative which is better than relying on wind farms which don't work. Bear in mind this latest lobbying scandal if evidence were needed on how the environmental lobby has managed to inveigle itself with greedy and gullible members of Parliament.
It's very grubby but what is worse is that the grubby scrotes are putting our economic future at risk.by their meddling.
It looks as if the energy bill will pass virtually unopposed and this is a far bigger scandal than any which has been seen before over the hundreds of years of parliamentary democracy in this country.
Don't look to labour to help they will only make things even worse.
Appalling.

Residents to get more say over windfarms
New guidance is expected to tell councils that local people's concerns should take precedence
over renewable energy
One scheme in which householders are to be paid at least £100 a year for living near turbines is
already under way.
Residents will be able to stop construction of windfarms under tough new rules that could seriously
restrict the growth of onshore wind power generation.
New guidance is expected to tell councils that local people's concerns should take precedence over
the need for renewable energy, and give more weight to the impact of turbines on the landscape and heritage.
The changes are part of a package of measures that also significantly increase the amount of money
communities will receive for agreeing to host windfarms nearby, with householders set to get hundreds of
pounds off energy bills.
The Liberal Democrat energy secretary, Ed Davey, insisted that the government remained committed to
"appropriately sited onshore wind" as part of a diverse, low-carbon and secure energy mix.

Top Tory in new Lobbygate row
MP coached client before committee grilling
Tim Yeo is chairman of the parliamentary energy and climate change committee
THE Tory MP in charge of scrutinising new energy laws has been caught boasting about how he can
use his leadership of a powerful Commons committee to push his private business interests.
Tim Yeo told undercover reporters — posing as representatives of a firm offering to hire him — that he was
close to "really all the key players in the UK in government" and could introduce them to "almost everyone
you needed to get hold of in this country".
He said he could not speak out for them publicly in the Commons because "people will say he's saying
this because of his commercial interest". But he assured them:
*********** "What I say to people in private is another matter altogether."**************

nothing would surprise me about mr yeo, the term "conflict of interests" could have been invented solely for him.

Met Office holds emergency meeting to discuss Britain's increasingly unpredictable weather patterns
It follows the coldest spring in more than 50 years
The weather has been so unusual over the past few years that the Met Office is concerned that the
repercussions of climate change may already be upon us.

i wouldn't take too much notice of the met office, i still remember last year's barbecue summer.

I know, I know. The met office are rightfully concerned that the weather here is normal with windy, wet summer days. I agree something must be done to combat this scourge of global warming.
Totally unpredictable indeed. It's really worrying. I'm really worried. Even my cat is really worried.
It's a known fact that global warming will lead to colder summers. We were warned and we didn't listen.
Does mankind hold a death wish?

Met Office to hold summit on unusual UK weather
The Met Office is to hold an emergency meeting of experts to discuss the increasingly unusual weather
in the UK, it has been reported.
Attendees are expected to debate whether the changing weather pattern in the UK, and in northern Europe
, is because of climate change or simply variable weather
It follows the coldest spring in more than 50 years, as well as droughts and floods in 2012 and the freezing
winter of 2010.
Climate scientists and meteorologists will travel to the forecaster's headquarters in Exeter on Tuesday
for the unprecedented meeting.
Attendees are expected to debate whether the changing weather pattern in the UK, and in northern Europe,
is because of climate change or simply variable weather.
A Met Office spokesman told the Guardian: "We have seen a run of unusual seasons in the UK and
northern Europe, such as the cold winter of 2010, last year's wet weather and the cold spring this year.
"This may be nothing more than a run of natural variability, but there may be other factors impacting our weather.
