Something else to be added to the bill for losses caused by green sickness reaching policy makers. In this case, the losses are being felt first by bus drivers in London who have to endure buses that don't work very well: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/07/21/londons-greener-cleaner-hybrid-buses-are-running-on-diesel-thanks-to-battery-problems/ The financial loss includes paying £100,000 more per bus than was necessary.

@jamesp thanks for your link to the debunking of the Tim Hunt story ..It's staggering how the greenleftys decide truth needs a helping hand by deceiving
@tomo Now My comments on that BBC mindset and how it leads to faking . In an edition of the Naked Scientists last year, they had an audience Q&A a man in the audience was picked for a question, he asked a question with an alarmist premise, they don't deny that the "public man" had a BBC science prog at the time and had also worked with one member of the panel, but they vehemently denied it was a planted question and said the guy was "freelance"
They do the programmes in English cos they think that is the language of their public, but they also assume that Greenleft right-on, rabid anti-racist, rabid antisexist is the natural mindset of the public.
The BBC carries boths sides of the argument both Marxist and Leninist
Motto, Nation shall speak peace unto Nation
No, more like : GreenLefty shall speak piss unto GreenLefty
On Twitter 30 odd GreenActivists did protest about Nigel Lawson getting 3 minutes to speak on Global warming
Yet the normal 24 hour Green/Left propaganda banging-on about Labour/SNP was resumed after that 45 min prog
And the Week before in the prog where Peston and Mair pick the hero of the day to interview Peston picked "Someone who has been in my world, my professional world .. known him for 20 years"
Alan Rusbridger (when asked if "he's a friend ?" Peston declined to answer)
YEP have a look at the photo of those 3 and tell me that is DIVERSITY
- Last week they picked Mrs Windfarm , Nick Cleggs wife.
- Hey guess who Mair chose this week ? Someone Peston worked with for a long time (so a friend ?) .... Christopher Huhne from 2005 to 2013 and the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.
..The guestlist seems like a CLIQUE rather than DIVERSITY
I wonder if they were paid for their time ?
Even this week's Making History is a special on "environmental history"
- history of sustainability
- "With the historian of wood energy use and environmental thought" Paul Warde

Tallbloke highlighting a 10 Minute Rule speech by David Davis last Tuesday.
David Davis MP used the 10 minute rule to introduce a Private Members Bill, to propose legislation to prevent wind farm firms from avoiding their responsibilities. Mr Davis explained that these wind farm operators, that can be valued in the billions, use shell organisations to build and operate these sites, while ensuing that these shells have greater liabilities than assets, effectively broke. This can prevent, for instance, a local resident from winning damages for health problems from infrasound or flicker. This legislation may also require a Bond to cover the costs of decommissioning.

Stewgreen: The figure of 16% was for a short period during the afternoon of 13th July. Mind you, as the amount of solar power being generated is not measured, it was no more than a "solar industry" estimate Solar power hits record 16% of UK’s electricity.
A surge in solar power installations and the current sunny weather have resulted in a new UK record of solar-powered electricity generation today.The industry estimates that 16% of the UK’s electricity demand was supplied by solar energy this afternoon, exceeding the previous prediction from the Solar Trade Association (STA) of a 15% peak.

Another tip : Mail Comment has picked up the 2013 Ice growth story
"They’ll say 2013 was a freak year....
But the more they juggle their theories to fit the inconvenient truths, the more the public will question whether these prophesies of global doom are based on genuine science, or guesswork."
Rudd Interview hardly groundbreaking here some SELECTED phrases
Introduced : "On Fri 13th July 16% of UK power came from solar according to solar association" (bet they mean day time hours only again)
Presenter (taking whining tone) - but solar subsidy is only £3/year
Rudd - "Those sums keep adding up and I am going to ensure they don't keep adding up."
- You support the nuclear to £17bn
Rudd - "This first round of nuclear is getting a higher subsidy that solar" "but a couple of things ..it's only paid after the electricity is generated and it's a different kind of electricity ..we need electricity in the winter when solar is not delivering much"

Justin Webb's BBC bias in favour of renewable energy and against nuclear power was very evident in the way he kept spluttering with indignation as he kept interrupting Amber Rudd.

clipe
Poor, but more of an apology and mea culpa that you'll ever see from the BBC at any level in public or in private.

stewgreen: The Amber Rudd announcements are given at Controlling the cost of renewable energy and for solar Changes to financial support for solar PV. The BBC covers it Small scale solar energy subsidies set to end.

@Philip coming up 0710 on @BBCR4Today bbc.co.uk/programmes/b062kpqj#playt=1h10m
"The Government is expected to announce that it's cutting back subsidies for solar power and other renewable energy projects. Jonathan Selwyn is a board member of the Solar Trade Association."
"First, We Speak to Cornish sheep farmer whose life has been rescued by solar"
0750 We hear from energy and climate change secretary Amber Rudd.
0855 Are we danger of letting the young naturalist becoming a thing of the past? (WTF Ta;lk about a made-up worry !) We hear from presenter and naturalist, Chris Packham, Wild Author Mark Cocker and Lucy McRobert, creative director for “A Focus on Nature”.

Have a look at TfL's "sustainable" transport document - I defy aanybody to demonstrate that it was drafted by anything but a crew of ignorant (and OK... stupid) green idjits looking to score anti fossil fuel brownie points with their gallery of NGO lobbyists... LPG fueled buses are operating successfuly all over the place (Hong Kong comes to mind) and have much to recommend them, quiet(er), no black (or white) smoke, low maintenance vs. diesel, cheap fuel.
Manchester's sustainable transport brigade bring us the "sustainable" gearbox
It's all arse about face - the engineers are brought in to pick up on and attempt to make flesh the doolally fantasies of Caroline Lucas, Huhne, Deben and the carnival of twerps
in chargemasquerading as competent and responsible public servants supposedly delivering effective public services.... what a farce.
