EU Referendum: Ta ta Tata?
The company is not arguing against the stupidity of "low carbon" technologies which are unnecessarily jacking up costs. This it could do to some effect simply by threatening to walk away. It is quite happy to work in a a high cost environment, as long as it can milk the system for tax funding in order to maintain the optimum level of profitability.

This, then, is special pleading – the corporate seeking to pad its own balance sheet at the expense of the taxpayer. The company has bought into the global warming miasma, and is a willing cheerleader - but it now wants someone else, i.e., British taxpayers - to bear the costs. The only honest response would have us saying "ta ta Tata". Check your wallets.

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Inconvenient truths
When the former head of the Civil Service accuses Whitehall of unthinkingly swallowing fashionable theories about global warming, it’s time for ministers and mandarins to take notice.

For as Lord Turnbull points out, huge uncertainties surround the science of climate change. Yet at immense cost, the Government is blindly committing Britain to the world’s most ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions
