When you build a prototype or the first of it’s kind you choose the best materials, you ensure you choose the best location and you ensure that the work put into it is the best you can do. You want a showcase, a prize that you can show to all and say this is what we can do. You are building a beacon of the future.
So what about our great Green Renewables future then?
via Devils Kitchen (and other sites) we have the results from the government new first “green” island, the Isle of Eigg. Only 95 people and an island they could put anything they wanted on and they have to fall back to diesel power in the middle of summer for the electrickery for their heating, cooking and hot water. Sure you don’t need as much at this time but if you can’t even provide it in a low demand time in a one horse town then how can you expect to when demand is high in the inner cities? Read the story here. Isn’t this weather going to be the norm in a few years?
Darkness, cold and misery coming to a city near you soon.
No, I won’t read that story.
Back to the dark ages with the greens. Maybe we should send all of them to thai island and ban them from leaving then listen to their tune in five years time. Also ban the supply of gas and diesel or petrol.
James,
OK then.
Ivan,
I don’t see why those fucks shouldn’t pioneer this technology. I bet none of them are on that island now. We should set up an eco town for all the greens and see how it goes. (It would also be easier to target when it failed)
I would feel happier with a contract that said anyone forcing this on us could be tortured and kicked to death if the power went out. It may require a few law changes but those would be the first law changes for decades that would be for our benefit.
