rmgill Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 (edited) The first grid source and distribution objectives aren’t even close to manifestation. The 2030 objectives, 6 years from now are absurd. Edited April 24, 2024 by rmgill
Ssnake Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 That's just because Big Carbon is subverting all attempts and our politicians don't want it hard enough. I have it on good authority that anything is possible if you just wish it to be true.

Of course, he was ignored by all the other participants. Edited April 24, 2024 by lucklucky

But wood stoves or gas stoves are neither.
lucklucky Posted May 9, 2024 Posted May 9, 2024 ‘The era of cheap food is over,’ says Waitrose chief Bailey will unveil the “Farming for Nature” scheme at Leckford, the Waitrose farm in Hampshire where they have been farming regeneratively since 2020. The supermarket wants to source “as much as possible” of its UK meat, milk, eggs, fruit and vegetables from farms that use regenerative practices, such as reducing pesticide use and ploughing and turning over field margins to pollinators. The aim is that by 2035, all of its UK supply chain for these items will be from regenerative farms. It is aware it will be a huge learning curve for Waitrose farmers and can’t predict how many will sign up, but Bailey is determined that the supermarket should lead the way. “I think there was a point at which we realised we had to do something,” he says. It sounds very noble, but some would say supermarkets have a major part to play in getting where we are now, having engaged in a systematic price war that has pushed farmers into intensification. Does Bailey, who worked for Sainsbury’s for 18 years – starting in the fresh food department and working his way to become its grocery buying director, before he joined Waitrose in 2020 – feel guilty? He laughs awkwardly. “I feel responsible,” he says. “I’m part of a generation of people who are in the right place at the right time to make a change. And I feel that burden.” “I think we’re seeing the end of the era of cheap food, because of the impact of that cheap food – not just on people’s health but the external impact, the environmental impact, the societal impact of that cheap food. We need to witness the end of cheap food and a reversal of the value of the food people are eating.” (..) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/era-cheap-food-over-says-112811404.html
Ssnake Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 Well, at least they can no longer deny that it won't cost the population much. Although I'm fairly confident that they'll find yet another scapegoat to blame for the results of their disastrous policies.

Stuart Galbraith Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 The main reason for the rise in cost of food in the UK isnt climate change, its Brexit. Though yes, I can see its a useful tool to deflect criticism in some quarters in the UK. We have never had enough land to make enough food in the UK. Even in WW2, when we were digging up golf courses and public parks, we still were dependent upon imports. With the population now something like 20 million more than we had then, its an issue that is only going to get worse. Thats why Europe was so useful to our needs.
Ivanhoe Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 Everything bad is due to Brexit. Oil prices, steel prices, supply/demand shocks in Ukrainian grain. Yeah, we get it.
