Black Results For Green Madness

All through my earlier posts, I have been mentioning that this could always be the end result of mindlessly giving in to this Green Lunacy. Now, it looks like it could be a distinct possibility. Those coal fired plants will not last forever, and with nothing to replace them, when they reach the end of their life, that does not mean that less coal gets burned because they turn the plant off. What it does mean is that people will be going without electricity, because there is nothing to replace it with.
People will not be nodding their heads in satisfaction that less CO2 is being pumped into the atmosphere. They will going absolutely ballistic because they have no electricity. This will be the result that no one was told about, and that no one bothered to find out about. Will the Greens be accepting responsibility for that? Not bloody likely.
Global warming hysterics and their political dupes have scared off investment in power stations:
In an interview with The Times, Steve Holliday, chief executive of the company that operates the power and gas transmission network, said that Britain was facing an acute shortage of generating capacity because a string of ageing nuclear and coal-fired plants were due to be retired from service….
“What is happening that people are not wanting to build enough power stations… The Government has an obligation to make sure that the markets are delivering,” Mr Holliday said. “You can’t afford for it to fail.”
Australia will soon face exactly the same problem – blackouts thanks to green scares.
