Nothing Green Ever Works: the perfect six-step environmental virtue loop | Daily Telegraph
Forgive me for quoting the article in near entirety, but this needs to be seen.
One: Britain goes big on wind turbines in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from traditional power sources.
Two: The wind don't blow and the power don’t flow.
Three: A subsequent massive increase in demand for natural gas as a power source drives wholesale gas prices through the roof.
Four: CF Fertilisers, a US-owned British fertiliser business that also produces carbon dioxide for commercial use, suspends production because high gas prices have made the business unprofitable.
Five: Carbon dioxide is a required component for meat packaging. Without reliable supplies of commercial carbon dioxide, Britain faces a food shortage.
Six: The British government, which spent millions of pounds to cut carbon dioxide emissions, will now give millions of pounds to CF Fertilisers so it can produce carbon dioxide.
Perfect.
Someone didn’t think this through.
