@Clipe its all over the BBC NOT
That FP article says
\\Greenpeace....., will
“often use forceful language to make their point.
They do not hew to strict literalisms or scientific precision, but regularly use words ‘in a loose, figurative sense’ to express ‘strong disagreement,’ and attack their intellectual opponents through ‘rhetorical hyperbole’ or ‘vigorous epithet(s).’”//

Snowdonia pumped storage: Glyn Rhonwy A new small plant has been approved next to Dinorwig Power Station.
Strangely it's rated at 99.9MW as if there's a subsidy cut off point. Cost £160m
Dinorwig itself is 1728MW

Mar 9, 2017 @ 11:36 PM Clipe - on gender roles in the US election.
This actually has nothing to do with Trump and Hillary.
It actually just shows that 'effeminacy in men' is more taboo than 'masculinity in women', among anti-Trump theatre goers at least.
What would make sense is if they repeated the performance in deepest Bible Belt country. The audience itself is a confounding factor.
It may well be that tolerance of inverted feminine gender expression is a function of big city competitiveness.
Small town family values may find both performances equally uncanny.

Good news is worth repeating, especially when WUWT are able to use such an honest headline as this:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/03/03/dr-patrick-moore-was-right-greenpeace-is-full-of-shit/
T-Shirts printed with such a slogan could be best sellers, but may not be featured in BBC coverage of Glastonbury.

More BS from the BBC - it's something of a mystery as to why the organisation can't power their operations with the vast quantityof bovine waste they produce.
In this case - "African Quality" - Europe's Dirty Secret" - as in WTF does fuel quality in Nigeria have to do with Europe?
A country where there's plenty of gas (clean, cheap) runs quite a large part of its transport fleet (let's not talk about the railways eh?) on unrefined crude that burns OK in most older diesels. The provenance of much of the fuel commonly involves "bunkering" or a bit of night-time battery drill+bucketry
The Nigerian establishment have managed to arrange it so that the country has no actual oil refinery and now apparently it's "Europe's Dirty Secret" ?
Wet streets cause rain - or worse if the BBC has anything to do with it. This campaign has all the hallmarks of being long in the planning and given where the air pollution rhetoric is emerging one has to assume that some supra nation coordination has been going on in the lead up....
