It turns out we can't even trust what we read in the papers most of the time so how do we make judgements about recent history?:shrug:

I will say I wish we as a nation invested in wind farms ands wave turbines.

The USA have big plans you know to ensure the reliance on oil and the arabs is diminishing . Us in the UK of course can not seem or organise an orgy in a brothel

Yes, us with a little foresight will be able to keep 'warm' in the knowledge that we were right and successive govts. got it wrong. Of course, in reality, they'll be insulated literally and financially from the affects of their inaction whereas we won't be...

I just wish we could get away from oil to power our transport and that we had a few more nuclear power stations to keep us warm..But then we would probably be reliant on another fuel resource to be obtained from another fragile part of the world.:(

Gets my vote every time.

Re: Iraq War 'can't be justified', admits Lord Prescott

So they lied big deal most of us had worked that out quite a while ago and the war wasn't justified well thanks for letting me know john and only years after i figured it out for myself. Whilst this will only do harm to those who lost loved one's as a result of the iraq war although i think even they managed to figure everything out before john decided to fess up this is non news really.

As for the energy debate pointless doesn't matter what we the great unwashed think our politicians will sit on their hands afraid to offend or risk their vested interest friends until the lights do go out. Add in the nimby's who whilst wanting everything to stay on will not think about having the plants of whatever type in their area and we're pretty much screwed.
