Another day, another initiative. Another media talking head. Another Minister. Another anchor asking but not worrying about failing to get an answer.
Against the backdrop of a suburban home, a BBC reporter says the owner ' is laughing' because of, amongst other things, his wind turbine. Sadly, it seemed to be more of a bird perch than energy generation device as it was, well, still.
Then we had Al Darling, Minister for Gravitas, being interrogated by the vanilla of the day, who actually asked(well, had been given) some good questions. Sadly, she seemed less than concerned that he didn't actually saying anything useful in reply. My email to the Beeb:
'Who is laughing, exactly? ... when I read stuff like the article attached - Wind turbines 'may actually do more harm than good' - I just get confused when I am told how great* wind turbines are. And did Mr. Darling answer a single question (such as your one about wall cavity and VAT reductions), or simply say things were going to be looked at?'
My faith in Government and the Media takes a further dive. I wonder if this was their plan when they figured talk was cheaper than action?
At least there was one good bit of advice. Move your fridge a tad more away from the wall. It makes it more efficient.
*On present evidence it looks like another way to make more stuff, which is hardly eco, and of course more money for the chancers.
