Climate Catastrophe

He can’t change the laws of physics though. I think @Arminius gave a pretty good explanation of why that isn’t feasible.

Again, the carbon emissions manufacture of them, let alone transport, is offset within months. If you consider the fact that they are replacing methods of electricity generation that would otherwise emit far more carbon then it makes complete sense.

Not just physics, but the economics of it too. China didnt happen to become so dominant in this field by accident or overnight.

Meanwhile the UK appears to have labour shortages across most of its key industries already. Much more important for the country to focus on getting the new ‘green’ power stations built and connected to the grid as soon as possible to help secure domestic energy, and reduce costs to the environment, households and industry.

How long do you think it takes to build a manufacturing plant?

You mean on top of the 14 a quick Google search shows?

The trouble is that the public are all too happy to swallow such disinformation.

Look on the bright side: beachfront property will become far more affordable.

Haha @Dutch

So can’t we use the sea water…de-salinate it…keep the salt…or sell it…then we have water to use during a drought or hot weather…or am I being a bit naive.

Not economically viable.

At least until white people become affected.

It also consumes a massive amount of energy as well, which just perpetuates the problem, doesn’t it? Just like air-conditioning, really.

Dont think it matters then either. They’ll claim its yet another tax.

If having more clean water available, so my water bills don’t go up, it is economically viable…it could help us at the moment …as we are being warned of water shortages…

That’s the point. Your water bills will skyrocket if desalination is included as a source.

Just thought it could be an answer to rising sea water, no water due to burst pipes/hot weather/drought…

I guess the answer to that would have been to hold water companies responsible for burst pipes and other leakages from the moment they were privatised, but I guess that was too much to ask for. Can’t be inconveniencing shareholders, you know?

But your electricity bill will skyrocket.
