its about money - same as most things - see the extremism ( long article but worth the read - i particularly liked the bit about the concept of "thermodynamic crimes " - oooo heck - i had better not light my pipe too often then
) that our government is prepared to go to in the Stalinist /EU paradise that is now England
and the ads on TV are a laugh - , one featuring a precocious brat - harassing his parent obviously has NO sense of real world values , as does the producer of the advert , it starts off with the parent cleaning his teeth with the tap running - and says "tumbler 4 pounds " ( 4 quid ??? - shit what is it Waterford Christal ?? - 4 for a quid from pound land ) then show a scene where said brat is in a store and gives his dad an "energy saving light bulb " energy saving light bulb 6 pounds " intones the add ( 6 quid ?? where the hell do these people shop ?? Harrods ?? )
and lastly we are treated to the face ( looking like a puppy who is gonna be sick ) of the brat looking up at his father and the advert intones " helping dad to save the planet - priceless " - think this kid needs a lesson in shopping !!
this is nothing more than a pseudo political attempt to brainwash people to a problem that does not exist ( and raise a few taxes in the process - the REAL MOTIVE ?? ) - we see japan and many other countries including our own lit up like Christmas trees - power being needlessly wasted everywhere , including our OWN government buildings where lights blaze all night and computers are left running 24/7 - and they berate US ?? - seems to me if this is so real then the governments need to put their own house order first ??
and do the governments of the world SERIOUSLY think people are going to give up their cars ?? - yea right , again if this is sooo real then why are rapid moves not being made to phase out ICE engines for non essential users ( some things will still need big ICE motors ) - and make electric personal transport systems more available ?? - i bet if ours offered a million pound prize for a sustainable design , our garden shed inventors could produce the goods - i would be in there pitching for one
nah this is ALL bollocks - always thought so - always will
