  It looks a bit like the House of Lords today:
  
  
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  Do nothing and nothing happens.

  The good news, however, is that DDC's Fastrack buses are going green. They go at quite a speed with a following wind. I'd like to say they'll cut emissions too but...

  Boris not setting a good example again ...
  
  
  I hope coming out of the conference a number of countries will agree a plan, otherwise it's grim for future generations .

  To expand the environment issue a little and all the bright ideas being put forward supposedly to save our planet.
  
  I am old enough to remember how we were encouraged to turn to gas heating as it was better than solid fuel. We were encouraged to buy diesel cars as it was better and cheaper than petrol.
  
  Both are now wrong and we must all go back to electric at great expense, I certainly will not be looking at changing my gas central heating system as it is only just coming up to a year old. But what really annoys me is not all new buildings are not being forced to be completely eco friendly with the way they are constructed, it seems one rule for the public and one for the building industry.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Sounds like the same rules for both? If the building industry were required to build all homes completely eco friendly, wouldn't that be setting different rules for them, while the public can still go out and buy a new gas boiler?
