It won't do. We're all doomed I tell ye!

I now see that in the whole four billion year history of our planet, nothing so disturbing as the retreat of this glacier has ever happened before, and I must be to blame. I'm now determined to save the planet, and have just severely chastised myself by denial of a second and third cup of morning tea.

No longer shall I waste all that electricity in boiling endless kettles of water. I shall start a crusade in our degenerate country, and rid us of this disgusting waste, thereby saving gigawatts of power generation, and forcing the evil oily-knickered barons (and those bloody windmills) clean out of business.

Furthermore, I shall give up washing forthwith, thereby saving all that water and added pollution to the seas, which is poisoning the fish, and starving those cute cuddly polar bears to extinction.

I may even cease to drive my super efficient small car one day a week, with its disgusting habit of only doing 50/60 miles per gallon. That will set a clear example to the world!

I shall not fail from my duty, and should , heaven forbid, there be a purpose to the universe (I refuse to call it a god) my self sacrificing may just count a little in my favour!

So Denmark is going to 'stop global warming', just by closing a few power stations.

Oh well, that's OK then, those who agonize at length over such things can heave a collective sigh of relief, and carry on jetting all over the globe whenever they please, burning millions of gallons of fossil fuel (can't fly on windmills) polluting the atmosphere.

No problem there!

GT, real time UK wind output is currently approaching 20% of the entire grid in this wind event. Nuclear is at 20% currently. According to UK power grid meters. Good or bad?

It would be fine Frederick if that was the full picture, but we know it is not!

Proponents of windmills never admit to the problems they create - dangerous rare metal pollution where it is mined, extensive carbon footprint of building and maintaining them, the obvious point -always glossed over - that the calculations should include the cost and pollution of always having to have a string of conventional power stations manned and ticking over on standby ready to jump in at a moments notice. Astonishing how that is brushed aside!

In other words the real savings of massive wind power investment is NOT what it may seem. And yes, I know that if all the world used them and cooperated by averaging out (a pipe dream!!) some problems could be overcome.

Like it or not, nuclear power is here to stay, and will certainly be expanded in the future to meet the worlds insatiable lust for power. (We have an 'atom box' next to our surf beach, and I'm sure it keeps my wet suits irradiated, and free from stinks!!!!)

P.S. Forgot to pick up on -

Half of our nuclear plants are currently off-line for either essential work, or are at the end of their working life spans. (Our 'atom box' was shut down last year.) So the quoted figures underplay their normal work load, which is par for the wind lobby.

Oh those pesky facts:

[GURGLETROUSERS]

What contribution has the unprecedented and continuing rise in jet aircraft travel around the globe played in this state of affairs? Could that be a major cause?

Figures?
