The reduction in consumption....

It can no longer be afforded in the UK and people have to sit in the cold and dark rather than pay out 20 pence per KWh (32 US Cents/Unit)


We are surrounded by natural sources of power. Have truly huge reserves of gas and 200 years worth of coal resources below our feet.


And yet Electricity, and Gas, are unaffordable due to massive profit taking and punitive taxation driven through by green insanity (Canadian Forest shipped to the UK to be burned type insanity)

Can't build new non-nuclear because of the Zealot's who then embrace Nuclear as Green

and I'm the loon (!!!!!!)

See thread title

Oh well at least we are helping keep the CO2 levels below 0.04% and the Earth won't boil the Oceans while we freeze

Big up to the Climate Crisis we are [not] living through

again see the dawn of the truth of this threads title and the truth of the contents of that first post.

It will harm the Swans


Fracking (a word that couldn't have been better designed for use in the pejorative sense!) will take place 10,000 feet (over 3Km/1.9 miles) below the surface

Highest mountain in the UK is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scafell_Pike at 3,209 ft. Pile 3 on top of each other turn them upside down and that's where the Gas lies in the Bowland basin

Surface disturbance - underground pipelines and drill head. End result cheapest current power source for centuries to come


But what about the Swans !!

When the lights go off and the heating doesn't work in the middle of winter or it is simply no longer affordable... at that point no one will give a monkeys about the Swans.

LOL Great find Harriscott

Don't say you were not warned.

There's absolutely no end to this insanity.

Note we are only just over 110 years from being extinct as a species if we don't have Children however many there are of us today.

-

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be


before some individuals, and eventually Governments, think that we should be measured only in terms of our Carbon Footprint

Yours

CDC: Environmental Justice Is ‘Access to Healthy Homes, Healthy Food, Transportation' -

(CNSNews.com) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted a video on its website to provide the definition of environmental justice, specifically when it comes to communities.

“The health of a community suffers when people don’t have access to healthy homes, healthy food, transportation, fresh air and safe neighborhoods,” the narrator stated in the video.
