Levies on energy-wasting appliances

Just read your two links Swalnalla, left me 100% undecided, still sitting on the fence. Somebody must have the answer.

I am in the same boat Pete, all this is as clear as mud; Bellamy's stuff looks like common sense to me though? Having said that just looking around you can see the impact we have had on this planet of ours and because of that I would tend to err on the side of the environmentalists. The truth will probably lie in the middle ground somewhere.

Once again I would put the onus on the politicians. They are backed by banks of quangos and comittees who's sole aim is to get to the bottom of whatever they are charged with investigating. They then have a duty to report back to their electorate, the people who pay for everything, to keep us informed and so able to make rational decisions, not the least being where to put a cross on a ballot paper! That would seem another part of the political process which has been short circuted as we see the big guns coming out spouting what they think, or whatever party line is to be used, and the back benchers unable to speak as the whips have effectivley stuck their lips together all in the name of party unity. Some issues are way above party politics, I would suggest this is one!

Nuclear power is where it's at; I think every right-minded person would agree that a few deformed bairns is a small price to pay for a warm house.

Green Coal

Are we really going to see all the closed pits reopened? If you belive they were closed for purely economic reasons then the price of coal nowadays is reason enough to see them opened up again without considering that link! If China is bringing online a "dirty" coal fired power station very couple of weeks we are really pittling in the ocean!

That's always possible but I see the future of coal like this.

Thunderbirds indeed, this technology has been in use for around 40 years, even the Aussies are having a look.

60p / litre is ok but the ordering system doesn't work, how much do they charge for delivery on this Greek fuel.
