Exactly! Unfortunately many things which are now being promoted as being "green" are anything but
To quote Pvt. Frazer We're doomed....
In my experience (and probably along with a lot of others), a large number of "green" products either dont work or are not really green at all (or both)
Wood preservative, paint stripper, water based paint and glue that dont work or need an ambient temp of 25c might be ok in California, but pretty useless in this cool and damp land. Wood pellets from quick grown trees replacing rain forests and then shipped half way round the world (in an oil burning boat) to be burnt at Drax were given huge grants and only now are greenies cottoning on to the stupidity of this. Not to mention EV's or ethanol production:shakeinghead
Apparently there is a reserve of mineable coal in the UK to last 400 years in the UK. The technology to "clean burn" this is already there. Unfortunately it is all down to profit, and people lining their pockets. We are being duped, but I suppose that has always been the case.
Sorry, rant over.
