Seriously, what the fuck will make these guys happy*? They go on and on and on and on about the devastating power of carbon, or more specifically carbon atoms with a couple of oxygen atoms tacked on, but they seem to reject just about all means of producing power. They'd sooner hack down a tree themselves for wood to burn alive the last panda than give any credit to fission power for reducing emissions, we all know that already, and similarly there's a history of them cracking the shits over hydroelectric projects. But now they're starting to
turn on Windy Miller and his turbines for hacking birds to bits and
wave energy projects, they've blocked construction of a
solar thermal plant so as to preserve the surrounding area (it's a
dried up lake in a fucking
desert, by the way) and they consider it a victory having
delayed the construction of a coal fired power station that was planned to be the first in the UK to use
CCS technology. Technology that the fucking greenie warm-monger alarmists say we should be using and that, absent man made global warming, there is no fucking business case for in the first place. Let's be quite clear about that - the plan to build Kingsnorth with CCS was almost certainly just to make the greens happy, because if their fears are unfounded it would be an expensive and pointless white elephant that serves only to make the electricity generated at the plant cost more than necessary**.
So what the fuck will they accept? Is there anything at all that some fucker in the green movement won't oppose? If the development of net generating fusion power is announced tomorrow I bet they'd fucking protest that too because of the n-word again - 'Nuclear fusion, everybody, nuclear... that's the word they're missing out and it's exactly the same word they use for nuclear warhead and we all know about Chernobyl which was a nuclear power station, yaddayaddablahblahblah'. Sadly this would probably fly well with all the people who don't know the difference between fusion and fission and will simply focus on the n-word, so I expect the bastards to win that round too. I seriously believe that some won't be content until we're all living an Amish lifestyle, if not wandering around naked looking for nuts and berries and throwing sharpened sticks at animals.
Fuck's sweet sake.
*Apart from being arrested in front of a camera or two. They fucking love that.
** Not completely accurate if I'm honest, since it's also money for whoever makes the components of the CCS system. That'll be yet another part of Big Eco then.
They don't like Hydro-Electric power (Upsets the flow of the rivers don'cha know), Nuclear (All that Nuclear waste!), Tidal (But whaddabout the boids and da mud flats!), now wind (Birdie killers!) and large scale solar.
ReplyDeleteA modern society where most people don't starve and freeze is anathema to them. Let's just stop taking the idiots so seriously. They appear no more than children who simply can't do joined up thinking. Tell them to f**k off.

ReplyDeleteSince the ones seen on tv appear totally unsuited for that lifestyle (being about 90lbs soaking wet, 10lbs of that facial hair - and that's just the women) I can only assume they hate mankind and want to see it wiped out, starting with themselves...
Which I suppose puts them one up on the likes of George Monbiot and Al Gore, who want to live a modern lifestyle while condemning everyone else to a subsistence level.

ReplyDeleteProbably gives oysters headaches too. I throw all my out of date nurofen into the bay just in case.

In that they're walking the walk instead of just talking the talk? Or that they seem more likely to freeze in the dark and stop bending our ears? Either way they're the quintessential useful idiots for Gore, Monbiot, Porrit and the rest of Big Eco, so in my book they lose any points they got for not being hypocritical bastards on top of everything else.
