Tories go nuclear, promise to prop up carbon price

Re: hay elf

Ok fair enough. In your original post, you seemed to be saying "all you greenies caused this, now you'll bleat cos you dont have power for 15 mins". Which as a "greenie" i took offense to!

But I agree with you - I wish all the parties would just sit down, decide what to do about it, then just get on with it (kinda like the swedes have done) instead of all trying to out "green" each other.

Re: In -15? In mid-winter?

I live in Canada, and walk to work in winter in -30C. And I would still put up with no power for 15 mins to a couple of hours if thats what needs to happen.

Re: Mmmm, suffering, discomfort, bliss...

Over 25, 1st on the way, but yes - decent health.

We used to have tons of people like you before we realised 6.6 billion people couldn't all afford to live like pompous spoiled brats demanding instant gratification for our every whim.

:)

I dont consider "taking a bus" and "not having power for 15 mins" to be roughing it. But there you go - maybe I need to be more demanding hey?

re: darren tuffs

Darren, as a "green freak", im MORE than happy to put up with losing power for 15 mins a day. I'd happily lose power for 2-3 hrs a day if it came to that. Please do not assume because YOU are unwilling to do something about AGW, that others are not.
