I much prefer cash on the nail, preferably 50's.

The "people" I deal with prefer those

And then there's container ships...

Which burn the dirtiest, cheapest fuel they can, and pollute more in one journey from China to Britain than my Jaguar could do in 10,000 years at 30mpg. Possibly.

And it's only a little Jaguar...

So I hear

It's all a money making scam to pay for the alarmist warmists and their junk science.

I wish there were a way we could make a stand against the money grab, but can't see a way to do that.

If only there was a way of powering ships by wind.

RenewableUK | Press Releases - Record-breaking January for wind energy

Or was it not cold last January?

National Grid statistics provided by independent data analysts EnAppSys

Hmmm

Record-breaking January for wind energy
The weekly record was set during 5th-11th January.

For much of the month, the UK was under the influence of a westerly weather type, with a sequence of Atlantic depressions tracking across the country. A sequence of particularly deep lows between the 9th and 15th brought some very stormy conditions to Scotland, especially the Western and Northern Isles, as well as plenty of rainfall. The first half of January was very mild,

From the EnAppSys doc

For Q1 2015
The quarter saw high levels of generation from coal fired plants typically
generating at the limits of availability
This coupled with levels of nuclear fleet generation up 30% from the previous quarter
In the quarter, the coal fleet provided 33% of the overall generation
gas plants providing 23%
nuclear plants 20%
wind farms 12%
interconnectors 5%
biomass 4%
Electrical demand was low at the beginning of the quarter as the holiday period reduced the need to generate electricity

Germany now have days when they get over 50% of power from renewable sources, last summer they had 78% mark -

Germany Just Got 78 Percent Of Its Electricity From Renewable Sources | ThinkProgress

The world would be much nicer, safer place without scumbags in countries with lots of oil that get financed by the West.

And yes it may also save the World, which would be nice.

Tar Sands? Fracking?

The Saudis and their "friends" are flooding the market with oil for this very reason.
