Carbon footprint

BBC South devoted the whole 30 min programme to how we must improve.
So the reporter starts off in Southampton docks with 2 ruddy great cruise ships as a backdrop.
Then moves onto Oxford fc and their proposed new stadium which will be entirely neutral as it will be all electric.
Where is this free electricity going to come from I wonder

The BBC is pushing this stuff relentlessly. Where is the electricity going to come from?
Good question. We haven't built a nuclear power station for thirty years, the politicians daren't build any more gas power stations and the nuclear power stations that we do have are coming to the end of their working lives.
Plus we need more infrastructure (pylons etc) to get the power from the power stations to your home.

Interesting times ahead, because we can't duck all these issues forever.

Oh, do keep up.

We are going to launch a one mile square array of solar panels into geostationary orbit and beam the power down to 1 million UK homes. We only need 27 of them for all homes. I reported on this weeks ago... https://news.sky.com/story/quest-to-pow ... e-13107285

Everything else will be run on windmill power.
