Good to have you back Tom.

Solar power? OK for the rich and for subsidy farming (or it was, see e.g. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2012/01/13/unreal_cbs_news_identifies_eleven_new_solyndras or http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0%2c1518%2c809439%2c00.html#ref%3dnlint), but for the poor I'd back shale gas (e.g. http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Unites-States-Possesses-The-Largest-Energy-Resources-On-Earth.html) and maybe these new-fangled methane hydrates. Tom does not seem so keen on coal, but I'm guessing it will still have a substantial contribution to make to our wellbeing while companies get geared up to exploit these other resources.

Just watched an eposode of the Professionals on ITV 4

Its the one where Bodie and Doyle go to some fictional northern city where the local police have become corrupted and have have turned extreme vigilante right wing and deathsquadish
They pretend open up a gay bookshop and when the the local police not in uniform and off duty turn up to drive them out town they collect suitcase full of evidence against them
The story concludes when the police put out a arrest warrant and they get captured with the bag of incriminating evidence
The assistant police commissioner then handcuffs them drives them to a derelict building to execute Bodie and Doyle
BUT one ordinary disillusioned constable with morals and a conscience follows them and saves them from being shot at last moment

Well other than the mole at East Anglia who leaked the Emails
Are there any Environmentalists or scientists who are disillusioned
They have become fed up with the way that Climate Change has taken over everything
They are upset that the Environmental and scientific community has totally alienated the public against them Green taxes stopping economic development in the developing world
How Climate Change has become this Frankenstein monster thats out of control
How Climate Change has become this modern day hysteria its become a religion to the exclusion of other environmental concerns and perhaps the fight against poverty and disease
The Environmental movement has become complacent and arrogant
With Climate Change has made it lose it connection to the people its supposed to serve
They didn't become an environmentalist to become powerful and rich
They didn't become an environmentalist to stop free speech and to censor to shut down sites like this one

There must be one Environmentalist or scientist with a conscience who can see whats going on
Even Luke Skywalkers dad Darth Vader turned to the good side in the end
