The Energy Crunch Cometh

Global Warming Politics

Depressingly, there is little sign that the current leaders of the Conservative Party have grasped the magnitude of the energy juggernaut hurtling towards us. They are still taking political refuge in vapid ‘Green’ waffle, and in pandering to dangerous ‘Green’ utopias. Howell brilliantly encapsulates the ineptitude, not only, I might add, of the Cameron Conservatives, but of all our political parties over energy:

“Little wonder that scepticism about the climate change ‘crisis’ is growing, as critical immediate needs seem to be ignored or met merely with hand-wringing.

The scene is full of scares, shaky economics and scams, some of which could have helped to bring down banks like Lehman Bros, which had dreams of making millions out of green investments and the market for emissions permits. This was always a dangerous and risky area, precariously dependent on government decisions and transient bureaucratic fashions.”
