I'm critical of our approach to green energy, not of green energy itself.
There is no point importing fossil fuels during the transition when we have our own resources.
There is no point offshoring industries like cement and fertiliser, we still import them and our approach is generating more emissions as a result.
There is no point building wind farms when the infrastructure is not there and so the tax payer ends up paying money to energy generators when it's very windy!
The Government seems to only now realise that solar panels are a more mature technology than heat pumps

Pushing people into expensive emerging technologies does not make sense when you could have a a more nuanced approach allowing technology to mature. We are busting a gut to use today's technologies to meet a target 25 years ahead, just stupid.
There is no single system EV charging network, how was that allowed to happen, if solid state batteries emerge as planned the game changes, how much money will we waste?
There is no point punishing the UK by going faster than everyone else, high cost for no benefit, indeed high cost for drawbacks!
The Government lacks a coherent plan and the ordinary tax payer is and will be fleeced as a result and our industry will not be competitive. Green industry is not the problem it's the hap hazard approach using today's solutions to solve a long term problem.
I get totally pissed of with the green is good eco zealots who can't think systematically, strategically or indeed employ a bit of common sense. Is China wrong? Well it's still increasing its emissions and building coal fired power stations, but unlike the UK it probably has a plan that works in the long term without cutting off it's own face.

If you think about the legal process, it is defined, there are clear procedures to follow and the skill is in the interpretation of the small details to make an argument. Compare that to running a country, everything is in motion, the situations are complex and not well defined, the skill is in identifying where you need to get to and having a strategic plan that pulls you in the general direction you need to go in, accepting that there will be hurdles and barriers to overcome. |

Unfortunately the politics in journalism is too easily accepted these days. |

I think we were a bit jaded last night. We played at 100mph versus Birmingham, hopefully we will recover for Hill. I noticed Matos was constantly encouraging the back line to move up the pitch last night in the first half. Maybe he's learning that the games come so quickly in the Championship that you need to be disciplined in where and how you press, there were less headless chickens chasing around last night. |

Miliband may be a category on his own. He seems to think cost benefit cases don't include costs. |

I think we can be sure we have a Government that doesn't systematically work through an issue, as indicated by the number of times it changes course. |

Our closing down is improving, but still has some errors. I'm not sure Vipotnik needs to over work. Picking up a centre half should be enough if we are organised and allow him to stay on the pitch longer. |

I think we have about 70,000 full time fighting soldiers, I guess that the part timers aren't much use if they only fight in the morning. |
