This is so deeply unserious. Throughout the entire 14 years of the Conservative government oil and gas licenses were routinely issued and for much of the period there was a policy of maximising extraction.

Production still fell, the economy flatlined, and energy security got worse.

But look at those beautiful six fields James. Six glorious fields, one of England's jewels. I couldn't sleep at night knowing those six fields were no longer visible from some vantage points.

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold.

“We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

ICYM Latest blog is on how for all the Farage-shaped noises off, the UK clean tech boom is delivering massive benefits for millions of people, the economy as a whole, and the only habitable biosphere in the known universe. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/45...

Here comes the sun: How clean tech is quietly transforming Britain for the better

So so good. My mum gave me the CD of him with his arm stuck in the gramophone when I was about 13 and it was *formative*
