Screw Boris.

He’s the same loon who said, “After Trump, Biden is like a breath of fresh air.”

So many unintended consequences to blame other people on.

Relying on windmills and technology that has not yet been invented. Right now burning coal to keep the lights on, as gas is too expensive and not enough available anyway. what a mess as COP 26 approaches.

Perennially overcast UK as a whole averages 1493 hours of sun per year, or 4 hours of sun per day. Solar powerless.

Compare UK 1493 hours of sun per year to U.S. cities.

Well they have eliminated gasoline from their economy, of course, nobody was informed that was going to happen so they are not very happy about it, but pushing a small car in a flat country can’t be that difficult, can it?

It’s the poor who will be hurt worst by this. Energy poverty is already a thing in Europe.

Oliver will once again want "More".

You can’t run modern civilization on wind and solar”

Correct. Crazyfornia is proving that....I guess this idiot hasn’t been paying attention.

Take a haircut and buy a comb dude...and learn how to use it

Probably should limit the amount of pages a bill


No you will not!

Green energy is a scam being pushed by perhaps the greatest hoax ever conceived.

A nation’s road to wealth is on the back of cheap, easily available, and secure energy supply.

Green energy is none of those things.

Want to see what green energy does to a nation? Look at China today. Cut off from their primary coal provider they are going dark and factories are shutting down and businesses are coming to a halt.

Another example, Texas last winter when their green energy network failed.

Perhaps the only reliable green energy is with Nuclear power plants which the environmentalist effectively took off the table. It is almost as if they do not really care about green energy only about destroying western nations.

You do know that energy efficiency in the United States is way up in the last 35 years, right? Industrial energy use per unit value of product is down by nearly 40%. Fuel economy of passenger vehicles has improved by more than 25%. Appliances, light bulbs, and televisions use less energy, as do jets and just about every type of transportation. Houses are better insulated. Product packaging has been reduced. I could go on and on.

If your house is too big then why don’t you move to a smaller one?

Anyone doing homemade sweaters? Here in NevaDUH our brilliant legislature wants 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. Could be interesting to see the big casinos in vegas running on wind and solar 24/7. Of course there was this from outside Tonopah NV....

DOH! Now, clean up costs.

“Look at the roads and highways. People don’t live where they are. They go all over the place.”


Thanks, a$$hat.

Maybe YOU shouldn’t go ‘all over the place.’

Here in Montana we NEED to move around. Ranch folk come to town once a week from 90 miles away and fill up a horse trailer with supplies for the employees of the ranch.

Sell your home to someone who wants it and live in a small house. Betcha you won’t...

If we have an event that triggers another “year without a summer”, we would be in very serious trouble with wind and solar power as a base of the electrical grid.

we can bet on the reaction if the Greenification (with concomitant misery and depressed standards of living) runs into a normal (hello, 11-year sunspot cycle) weather fluctuation and by golly we still have bad weather. Even hurricanes and forest fires. That will mean we didn’t do enough to destroy our industrial base per centrally-planned timetables.

Alas, no critical thinking and understanding of the need for falsifiability of hypotheses.

Oh wait, that’s real(tm)science.
