Rake all the money put into FF, and put it into wind and solar. At some point, the investment goes down from RE. FF requires continuous mining and drilling non stop. RE saturates and goes to a minimum when enough energy is reached.

ReplyDeleteThis is a huge issue. Millions of contaminated once fresh water contaminated . What to do with it.
No one is suggesting that we should allow bad practice to cause pollution. There are strict controls in place to prevent pollution herein the UK. The world is still a dangerous place and ot be a strong independent country we need to have a wide range of options for our energy needs. Putting all our energy needs into one renewable energy "basket" would be a big mistake.
