Turning Down the Thermostat.

I was listening to some eco expert on the radio who is not dogmatic about the subject. He was saying it as it is. The government  policy is just hogwash and will never happen. He said that they have done all the easy hidden bits to get towards net zero carbon emissions by shutting down carbon emitting power stations and exporting manufacturing to China. These acts have only gotten us down to the 50% reduction figure.

Now for the difficult bit where it starts to impact upon your everyday voters life. Who on earth has a spare £18,000 lying around if they don't  live in the North London suburbs? No-one!  Who is going to turn down their thermostat by 10 degrees and shiver, No-one!  When a survey was done in America and folk were asked if they were willing to do their bit for the planet and drive an electric car, everyone said yes. Asked how much they were willing to spend per month to do their bit, all they were willing to spend was $10. So much for having a coherent government policy on so-called global warming.  All PPE graduates working in Govt should be banned from being involved in determining polices which have anything to do with science.
