well this is propaganda news.. to bash the classical enemy of russian the u.kit has been long proven that it has been cooling down since the year 2000 so there is no global warming and when there was it was caused by the sun and co2 levels trial temperature rise and not lead like al gore proposed. so i see nothing wrong in building coal burning plant just double propaganda in one in this story, i understand the story about the bbc and the hola masacre but this is just propaganda.

I wonder how much the politicians got pad off for this scam, from these
energy companies. Politicians in the U.S.A. and U.K. are just like crooked
cops you pay them to look the other way. Funny how they just pass any law
they want that lets their "Friends" get away with anything. Time for a real
public trial.

Lo l your ideology of the U.S. is straight out of a Hollywood movie.

Britain has always been the filthiest most degenerate place in the world. It's humanity's septic tank and I can smell it's stench across the Atlantic ocean.

If a National Government cannot SAFELY operate Nuclear Generation Plants, it would be better, nicer and SAFER to revert to Coal, Solar or Wind Power.

Our Children can survive in a World with poorly maintained wind turbines.

I remember the "good old days" when on my motor bike with my headlamp full on but you could only see a few feet in front of you. You had to crawl along the road .There were two versions 1=fog-could see 30yards 2=smog -could see 10feet.The smog was BAD dirty air going into your lungs you had to put a "hanky" over your mouth.All down to smoking factory chimneys.
