But therein lies the problem: they are in power, and don’t want to relinquish any of that power, regardless of the environmental consequences.

I was reading yesterday that in a survey it showed that people would more readily move house than move banks. I reckon it’s the same here: they’re rather the earth was wasted than they give up their four years (or whatever) of power. It’s really sad.

I’m a bit of a believer in `you use it, you produce it’. Would love to see what would happen if someone were to suggest sticking a bunch of windfarms in Hampshire and inside the M25.
