Jeff Luers interviews prisoner Grant Barnes « Save Feral Human Habitat

JL: You are currently serving a long prison sentence for arsons claimed on behalf of the Earth Liberation Front. What compelled you to take such actions?

GB: I had been aware of the ELF for some time, and as I became more aware of the severity of the most likely consequences of climate change I decided it was time for me to do my part and take responsibility. I think that property destruction is a useful component in a united front of tactics toward first, earth liberation, and ultimately towards the cultivation of a biocentric culture. It raises the economic and psychological costs of earth destruction, and when there is media coverage, as there usually is, it shows people on all sides of the struggle that the destroyers are vulnerable. I believe that property destruction is one of the things that the other species of the planet would do in their defense against extinction if they had the knowledge and ability to do so. Those who destroy the property of uncaring, irresponsible people act on behalf of these other species, which are our cousins.

Bernard Ingham: An Energy Secretary who's dancing in the dark - Yorkshire Post

Since the lights have not yet gone out, we still do not have a fully-fledged Department of Energy, even though the nation would grind to a halt without coal, oil, gas and nuclear power.

Instead, we have a Department cobbled together out of Green global warming fanatics from Defra – the old Environment department – who see no place for low-carbon nuclear and realists from the old DTI who are deeply concerned about the security of our energy supplies.

The "Green" Miliband and his Minister of State, Michael O'Brien, have in their first few weeks amply demonstrated which faction of their department has the upper hand by their public utterances. While being careful to say we need nuclear, they have waxed lyrical about unpredictable, totally unreliable and highly expensive wind power.

And so inevitably Miliband turned up at this week's annual conference of the politically correct Environment Agency, which runs away with roughly £1bn of the public's money every year.
