David F Chambers, Sladeburn Drive, Northallerton.
I SUPPOSE that the notion of global warming and its dangers was worthy of
consideration at least (The Yorkshire Post, November 3). The further
theory that it is actually happening, caused by excessive carbon dioxide levels,
and that these in turn are due to human industrial activity, should have been
far more critically examined. Instead we have seen some catastrophic decisions,
so basically misguided and expensive that to reverse them now would be
politically unthinkable.
Thus, the plan to build a further 2,500 windmills each and every year
until 2036 cannot be changed. The same applies to the slashing of industrial
activity demand for unspecified daily periods, and the subsidising of an army of
privately-owned diesel powered generators.
How could any Government have failed to see where green fantasies of
renewable power sources (but not nuclear of course) were leading? Ben
Southwood’s article (The Yorkshire Post, October 26) on the futility of
wind-sourced power is logical and honest, but far too late in the day to be
effective – reputations, even the General Election itself, are at risk.
How do we get out of this mess?
