UK to "get serious" About Renewable Energy

Posted by michael on from the don't-hold-your-breath dept.

Bob Dobbs writes "Tomorrow the UK government will announce (observer.co.uk) it's going to "get serious" about renewable energy; in the bleakest look at global warming so far Tony Blair will warn that extreme weather will wreak £150 billion worth of damage across Europe within a decade and the current situation is "unsustainable". On the bright side, it's mentioned that sustainable energy sources are less susceptible to terrorist attack."

    Blair actually disagrees with Dubya on something.

    Next up, he's going to be accused of supporting Al Qaeda's scheme to cripple American industry with this 'global warming' nonsense.

    I'm telling you... it would work.

    But the metamphetamine you need to power them comes from non-renewable sources...
