We needn't laugh, we won't be far behind them.
And our crackpot government still insists the future is electric vehicles and yet bans onshore wind farms. :confused:
The Swiss are pragmatic and law abiding by nature. They are also very cautious.
We shall see if any of the proposals become law. The Federal and Cantonal Governments all plan for the long term (unlike Britain where next week is a long term plan). However, like everyone, they have been wrong-footed by the energy crisis.
Burning fossil fuels to run electric vehicles won't work wherever you live S_c.Quote:

A sick, sick world.
When faced with stark reality, even the eco-loons running Asylum UK have to see sense, of a sort.
"National Grid has given notice to two of its reserve coal-fired power stations to fire up as Britain tries to avoid blackouts."
"The network is facing a surge in demand as temperatures drop below zero and swathes of the country is covered in snow. Soaring demand sent day ahead UK power prices to an all-time high. The National Grid Electricity System Operator said the emergency plan "should give the public confidence in Monday's energy supply" as millions are expected to work from home and turn up the heating. The notice does not mean the coal-fired power stations will be used but means they will be ready to produce energy if called on by the Grid."
I like that last sentence, I assume it's there so that the eco-loons don't have to wet their knickers just yet, maybe later.
We’re so blind in this country and it’s so fullQuote:

We’ll never learn
We're importing gas from the USA and coal from anywhere we can get it, and all the time we're sat on enough of both to keep us going comfortably, while any climate/environmental problems can be addressed and resolved sensibly. But what has sense got to with the eco-loons ?Quote:

And who established, in 2009, this Supreme Court that blights all our lives, and which we managed perfectly well without for hundreds of years ? Sir Tony Blair and his Labour Government, behind everything that's wrong with this country, there's a Lefty.
