Eco-friendly roadshow set to return

The 'fascista,' either a political party run by General Franco or a new fascinating sisterhood of nuns?

On the plus side, Greenland now has approximately 250,000 sq Kms of arable land that has not been exposed before and the North West passage is now open all year for oil tankers. One man's meat etc.

david, no they don't; you are right and this is why Lovelock, Monbiot and others are now distancing themselves from the fascista.
This Green Deal thing really gets my goat, just as the "Community Energy" wheeze does.

If the public were armed with the facts instead of the propaganda (which SHOULD be the job of the press LOL!), they would swerve this like the plague.
Last Sundays Observer did an exposee of Green Deal, backed up by some serious stats, which included : The average period for repayment is 15 years and the interest rate is 7%, so if one took out a loan of £10,000, it would cost £16,200 to repay. Ouch!
A personal loan or mortgage extension at an average rate of 4.35% over 15 years would cost £13,631.
So even with the G.D. £650 "cashback", you would STILL be out of pocket by £2,000 taking up this gargantuan green scam, but I betcha Joe and Josephine Public are not told that before they're "signed up"

I reckon they could make more impact to save the planet just by turning off every other street lamp. I think the biggest cause of global warming is the amount of hot air spoken about it! On a serious note anyone see the programme about the earths axis and how THAT is the major cause of climate change?Whilst no one can argue against cutting back on waste and excess the greens dont talk about the axis issue much as it takes some of the wind out of their turbine!

Darryl, I just do my best to put facts out there that are largely ignored or covered up by the "Green Fundamentalists" as Lovelock now calls them.
Read the story of his redemption in yesterdays Telegraph headlined: "Wind farms could become 'monuments of a failed civilisation', top environmentalist claims
One of the world's top environmentalists has said wind farms risk becoming “monuments of a failed civilisation" as he fights to stop a 275ft turbine being erected near his home."
I welcome one of the green movements founding fathers into the "sceptics" camp and just wish that I could convince the CP that they should become a bit more sceptical, instead of hanging on raybans every word.

It is exactly the same situation with the Green Deal.
Did you, or anyone else know, that if you sign up, you will have to pay VAT TWICE?
Have a look http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmenergy/writev/greendeal/greendeal.pdf

LOL Professor Don you're a character.

I see this is going to provide "information on the government’s Green Deal"
Lets hope that the info is a lot more transparent than usual and puts real facts to potential mug punters.
I don't believe that anyone in their right mind would sign up to this scam and up to 22 January, only 5 people nationwide HAD signed up to it.
Couple of good bits of news today.
Chris Huhne has pleaded GULITY to perverting the course of justice.
This man COULD have still been Sec. of State telling us all sorts of porkies about "renewables".
Apparently his son told him to "man up" and Huhne has resigned.
Reesult!
And the Godfather of Environmentalists, Prof. James Lovelock said today "We never intended a fundamentalist Green movement that rejected all energy sources other than renewable", in response to a proposed wind turbine NEAR HIS HOME!!
One lives in hope that one day even the CP may see the truth!
