What would we do with the coal? Alok Sharma blew up the coal fired power stations. He’s now in the Lords.

[@TomTomicMic]

Well I am not that fond of coal, too much lugging coal in and ashes out, but we should have the cheapest energy not the dearest if that's means ditching eco then ditch it, same with water the water companies are running rings around the regulators who are totally incompetent, like food we should have access to the cheapest food that meets our standards not mark up certain foods, same with all things it seems like every company is adding stuff on to make things more expensive aided by the government, it must stop!?!

[@HMacK-x5r]

I've called this NUT ZERO - only a nut would even shut down fossil fuels and nuclear. Alternatives will NEVER replace the normal generation of energy.

[@user-yl1xy5eg7b]

Yes, but also this; whereas 78%of atmospheric gas is nitrogen, 21% is oxygen, only 0.04% is CO2, which is a low lying gas, unlikely to cause warming, the balance is helium, hydrogen, argon, etcetera. Further, only 420ppm is CO2, and at 150 plant growth slows, at 120 ppm plants expire and, as carbon based life forms, so do we. These idiots want to bury the very thing which keeps us alive, because they mistakenly believe the planet is warming. Ed Miliband is an arts graduate, like most politicians. 97% of CO2 emissions occur naturally. Of the balance, the UK emits only about 1%, because we have offshored manufacturing to the worst polluter on the planet, China, which is building coal fired power stations at a considerable rate per annum. Over the past 10,000 years, the average global temperature was 2 to 2.5 degrees warmer, as measured in Prof Jørgen Steffensen's ice core data, corroborated by earth core, tree ring and Chinese cave data. Warming claims come from a data sample for only 173 years, since 1852, during which time we have been emerging from a cold period. CO2 levels and average global temperatures do not covary, the sun increases our temperatures. We are witnessing a bubble, far more pernicious than the Dutch 'Tulip Bubble', and there are few who profit from this, egging on the stupid, and donating to Labour, e.g., Dale Vince, well known scientist and Nobel Prize winner, NOT.

[@Exanto777]

Nuclear power can supply most of the energy. Except when you employ Chinese contractors who will not deliver on time or on budget.

[@140pro]

It's all bollocks and impossible to achieve. It's simply to keep people in work and in their place so they can be taxed to death. More pollution than man has ever created during our human cycle as we know it is emitted into the atmosphere from one volcanic eruption.

Talking about AI is simply a distraction from the more important problem of the rape gangs, which Starmer knows is not going away.

[@TomTomicMic]

AI is a buzzword used for distraction to change the narrative that is absolutely true, but again it's a Starmer lie as AI won't be introduced into government in a meaningful way until after the next election at least, most probably the one after, we must therefore ensure that they are gone before they cause any further disruption. The only reason Marxist Labour would use AI is to control the masses, they do not care about production, that's why public sector workers recently had above inflation wage rises with absolutely no production targets to achieve, none, because it comes from the magic money tree that's in taxpayers pockets, they want control, same as.......Marxist China!?!
