Renewable propaganda

There is only one response to our government over the water's demand that we must produce 15% of all our energy with renewables by 2020, laugh. It simply isn't going to happen. Like there demand that 10 per cent of all vehicle fuel comes from biofuels, even though they mean the production of more carbon than they would save, will lead to the destruction of rainforest, will increase food costs, this is feel good enviromentalism which is going to be far worse for people than the effects of climate change that it is trying to counter. But what does the EU political elite care about people, when there is valuable propaganda to be spun? Trying to provide that much of our power from wind, wave, hydro, and solar would be so cripplingly expensive and unreliable that there is no way that we will end up with even close to 15% of all energy coming from renewables. Unless of course they include that forgotten renewable energy system, the Fast Breeder Reactor.

I think we can rely on Nulab cutting our carbon emissions. Unfortunately it will be via power cuts.
