What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Bit odd to obsessively talk about someone you’ve put on ignore no? 

Shutting down a motorway could have killed someone. Personally, I’m delighted they’ve been sentenced. Hopefully they will be out doing a heavy bout of community service before too long. 
 

Meanwhile, the government are ramping up our renewable sector. Rather than ramping up oil & gas.

So less energy costing more and we get to destroy vast areas of the countryside to please bedwetters, who ironically complain about the environment.

The problem with imposing a community order is that the defendants had repeatedly stated their intention to continue committing criminal offences

And at least one of the defendants, if not more, was already subject to, and thus in breach of, a community order

Community orders can only ever be effective if the person the order is imposed on has respect for the law, and these defendants clearly feel their cause supersedes it

Renewables don't cost more, once economies of scale are reached.

Recently, the wholesale price dropped below that of fossil fuel generated leccy.

The concept of insufficient energy is also flawed- if we didn't have enough traditional power stations we wouldn't have had sufficient supply. 

The main issue is arguably the lack of balance in that not enough emphasis is placed on energy storage systems to smooth out supply and demand.

Turbines are often turned off when there is oversupply as it's easier than doing similar with a gas system.

Whether by battery, hydrogen, water/hep, or others, the ability to store energy is available.

Moreover, fossil fuels won't last forever, and will become uneconomical to extract in time, so alternatives have to be sought. That's not taking into account pollution. 

Whether this latest idea is workable, we'll see in good time.

Let's hope it is.

This might just be the most misinformed post I’ve ever read on here. As other posters have proven.

Fair do’s. Didn’t know that side of it & previous convictions. 

Reality is that trying to disrupt vehicles travelling 70mph could cause a horrific accident. And I’m sure the judge was looking at that as well.

Climate denier for saying those stupid fcking turbines don't provide enough power ahahahaha 😄😄

You fcking melt, I'm mis-informed for pointing out your 'green energy' bollocks is a load of twaddle 😄😄

We should go nuclear and try and save the people of the UK money on their leccy bills, instead we're spunking millions supposedly going green to keep wankers like you happy 😊 😃

That is wrong. Renewables produced enough power last year to have used no oil or gas at all. The issue is storage for peak times not overall output.

Horseshit, the green energy bollocks is just that - bollocks.

But if people like you are enjoying paying sky-high electricity bills thinking it's worthwhile building wind farms then fair play.

We can't just carry on setting the world on fire though can we? 

We’re moving to renewables whether people like it or not.

It needs to be done.

Sometimes, the sheep just need to be kept in the meadow whilst the proper work gets done.

True plus the odd lethal injection (see above)

@PatrickBateman is having an absolute shocker this morning. 

Another night out in Manchester was it?

Seems to think that a shit ton of emojis & insults help prove he’s right & everyone’s wrong.

Be a grown up & give us some solid evidence? Why do we need to suddenly renewables after decades of climate experts telling us otherwise? 
 

I’m curious how you know green energy is all bollocks?

Burn the lot of it, I've probably got 20yrs left in me before the inevitable heart attack, if I'm lucky 😄

Awwww, you miss your invite? 😘

Climate experts....the same mob were saying we'd be burning alive by now, Al gore-stylee, nearly 20 years ago. You got a hard-on watching An Inconvenient Truth.

Go nuclear and keep Mr Burns happy.

We need to throttle right back on fossil fuels.

Renewables is the future. You’ll just have to deal with it.

Isn’t Nuclear classed as renewable?

You do know we break the records for hottest temperatures year on year right?

And the wettest.

How can it be? Surely the material used (like Uranium and Plutonium) have finite resources, and once they home, they're gone. Granted it works take a long time, but they aren't "renewing"

But it’s only 20 degrees where I am.

Therefore climate change is a lie & renewables are a rip off.

No.

It’s classed as clean energy.

Because the emissions are virtually zero and raw materials needed are a huge amount lower.

Fission and fire are very different.

We can generate enough clean power. That isn’t the issue. It’s the grid.

Thankfully we seem to be taking our energy advice from actual experts now. Not a few blokes who pretend they understand the scientific peer review process cos they saw a YouTube video once by moonmantinfoilhat874!

No - it's a non renewable energy source like coal. Just a very efficient one.
