Indeed having said that Scotland's MSPs, having voted unanimously to cut electricity by 50% in 10 years, are clinicially insane I don't think there is much correlation. Whether this is a point for or against democracy depends on the likely alternatives.<br /><br />Secondly I very seriously doubt if that many Green politicos really believe their scam. Gore's beachfront property suggests not. So does the "Green" attitude to nuclear. If nuclear can cut CO2 massively, as it can, & CO" really is causing catastrophic damage then a believer would simply have no alternative but to call for a crash programme of nuclear build. Prof Lovelock has done so but very few others. FoE expelled one of their board for drawing this conclusion. I regard this as a touchstone between real environmentalists, with whom I may disagree but can respect & eco-fascists trying to scare us into obedience, who are parasitic scum.neil craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157898238945726349noreply@blogger.com
