Ed Miliband to ban tumble dryers.

@peterlee Perhaps thinking about the long-term future of our climate could be considered to be equally necessary for government as looking at the immediate crises?
I don’t think it has to be either/or. I do accept that there is a view that the climate is not a major issue and is all made up, but I don’t subscribe to that.

@FreddieUK Building nuclear power stations! Wind turbines.

China is well ahead of us there, with solar power and wind.

We don’t have the infrastructure to go over to electric transport even.

Also we can make moral choices. We don’t need Ed’s latest whim.

@peterlee Around 83% of electricity to the National Grid yesterday was generated by a combination of solar and wind. Just 4% from gas. The only limit on these superb sources of energy is climate "scepticism".
