----------------------------------------The reality of living in the UK with this nonsense is in the comments below the Telegraph piece For the record this is a loan for home insulation paid back through your Electricity and Gas Bill. Remember in the UK we are already paying ~200% of the USA price for Gas/Electricity when paying at the normal rate. This is a Government initiative that takes no Government involvement. Note this has no benefit for people like myself renting their property. I have to admit to being very lucky now living in a flat that is highly insulated and efficient in it's use of Electricity (No Gas) - I can keep it warm down to 5C outside with just my 4 WCG Crunchers  . No incandescents just LED's and CFL's and a water heater that loses to the rest of the flat <1.5KWh a day.As I say I am very lucky living where I do and also very close to where I work. The majority of the rest of this Country's population do not have these benefits. A place where in Central England the average temperature for 2011 was 10.7C Dave  [Edit 4 times, last edit by David Autumns at Nov 17, 2012 12:25:25 PM] |

Let's hope the Anti-Nuclear message keeps being heard
----------------------------------------http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/markets/arti...investment-US-market.html What this piece fails to mention is the very same company is http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysect...Osborne-windfall-tax.html shutting down OUR huge gas reserves for what reason  |

Remember this ?
----------------------------------------Something incredible here's a snap of the global thermometers database from 2011  As you can see the 30 day average temperature dipped below 20C on the 21st September at 7am fast forward a year ....  The raw unadjusted data straight from the NOAA weather stations 2557 in the last hour The thirty day average temperature is the average from over 1.8 million individual temperature measurements taken from the same weather stations around the globe .and in 2011 and 2012 it dipped below 20C for the first time when? We are 10 degrees cooler now continuing on the way into the Northern Hemisphere Winter and In 2011 the 30 day average temperature first dipped below 10C  12pm GMT on the 18th November 2011 fast forward a year ....  Let that reality drop in Sekerob Despite our Media, Politicians, United Nations and others claiming our Climate is out of Kilter/Whack and that we are in the middle of an "unprecedented" Climate Crisis Our actual Climate would appear, despite the myriad of inputs from our dynamic Sun, Ocean Currents, Cloud Cover, Volcanic Activity, Sea Ice Cover etc etc etc, to be so stable that you could set your watch by it and be at most 1 hour out So if a Child asks you if they will be swept from their Beds out to sea while they are sleeping on account of Climate Change - please tell them the truth  Dave [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Nov 18, 2012 2:04:05 PM] |

Ah marvelous another shindig where thousands of delegates jump into fossil fuel powered aeroplanes and fly to some nice place where they try to stop the rest of us from doing the same, in some cases rendering just surviving unviable for the ordinary man

----------------------------------------Went live yesterday capitalized by £3,000,000,000 of UK Tax Payers money not spent, or now available to be spent on other essential services. If a "green" endeavour is worth funding it should be able to receive the cash from a normal bank through a viable business plan. So... Why the need for £3,000,000,000 of UK Tax Payers funds? Because... Answers on a postcard by no later than 31st December 2012 Dave |
