"Green" policies are destroying this country

Hopefully, that clown Ryan is ousted in a GE,

Is there anything they've ever done right?

Doesn't he burn wood in his own house? In the middle of Dundrum? What a complete dick. Nice source of pm2.5 particulate emissions for the local kids to choke on.

But let's ban gas boilers because it doesn't affect him personally because he's great.

Heat pumps. Sure. That'll work well in an F rated house. The right type of heating is no heating but, of course, the BER system isn't setup for passive houses.

Greens were big biofuel fans. Because not in our back yard and who cares if all of Malaysia is clear cut for biofuel crops. It's green because we say so.

And insulation has 23% vat on it unless you've a pile of money to put down in one go and then you get a pile of grants. Have you thought about not being poor?

The Greens put those stupid dual flush toilets into the building regs because of course that's a good use of the regs. Now everyone has toilets that you flush by putting your finger down a hole. Thames water in the UK is now urging them to be banned as most of them are drop valve type and most of them leak like crazy.

Another failure that's not a failure because we don't measure water usage so lalalalala.

Spent millions banning lightbulbs noone was really using anyway. They'd have banned CRTs next except they got hurled out in 2009. How many people know what CRTs are these days?

Told us all to buy diesel cars because "green". If you could afford a brand new car your tax was 100 quid or something. My rarely driven Starlet was 380 quid. Now we do it again with Evs.

Total failures. Outside politics they wouldn't get jobs shoveling manure.

I think FF are terrible but they cleared plastic bags overnight with no effort at all. Didn't ban anything. Turns out if you ask people to pay a few cents, these things ban themselves. Who knew.

Sorry for the rant. Social media etc.

Guess who takes all their misinformation about what a ULEZ is from headcase Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Right wingers and the Tories are using them to stir up anger against Labour, anything they can to try prevent the hammering that's heading to them the next election, when it was in fact the Tories that introduced them. So as a result all the discourse about ULEZs in the UK is purposely misinformed by their own government.

Just look at the post by paddyisreal above, "Typical green bullshit", can't get much further from the greens than the Tories.

Yeah, people are deluded if they believe these policies aren't going to be government policies regardless if the Greens are there or not.

Like I said, people are deluded if they think these are uniquely and solely green party initiatives that will disappear into the ether if they're not in government,

Here's the mayor of Paris, from the Socialist Party, advocating for more in Paris.

You must only follow certain news outlets as it is clear the Greens are on a down slope, even in Germany! The msm is in denial mode..

In your own words "it's in the works" .... So you admit it wouldn't be implemented in the foreseeable future... Is everything on the green agenda delivered in never never land. Anyway your crowd won't be within a mile of power this time next year so it wouldn't be delivered in the next 5 years that's for sure

What's funny is that you think they're gonna love the green alternative which is several times the historical price of gas.

Actually, the stability of fossil fuel prices is pretty remarkable outside of periods of war and pestilence:

What about wind power? ... hmm, seems to be heading the wrong direction, could be something to do with Green fixation on technologies that need unsustainable levels of energy commodities:

I think that report excludes a lot of countries. There's 27 in the EU, and only 20 mentioned in that report. Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta are all excluded. I don't think you can say anything about EU wide changes when 25% of the countries aren't included in the report! I'll go out on a limb here and declare shenanigans, especially since the authors of the report are firmly against coal

Where can I sign up for power that isn't using fossil fuels? Until that's a choice, the consumer can whistle all they like, they don't have a choice. Plus, I'd also wager that renewable companies will be equally as greedy and you'll pay for future "green" power based on the whim of the "green" company
