Britain To End Pursuit Of Green Energy At All Costs
G20:
India Blocks Western Tactics On UN Climate Deal
Editor's
Note: This whole green fraud being perpetrated on the world had to come
to an end simply because everything they promote is based on lies. Alternative energy ins’t cheaper. It isn’t more environemntally friendly. It isn’t easily obtainable. It is however an economic disaster for
humanity. Dystopia is the end result of
following the green movement, not the utopia they promise. We really need to get that!
Britain will no
longer pursue green energy at all costs and will instead make keeping the
lights on the top priority, Amber Rudd, the energy secretary, will vow this
week. Households already face paying over-the-odds for energy for years to come
as a result of expensive subsidies handed out to wind and solar farms by her
Labour and Lib Dem predecessors, Ms Rudd will warn. a major speech setting out
a new strategy, the energy secretary is expected to say that from now on,
policies will balance “the need to decarbonise with the need to keep bills as
low as possible”.“Energy security has to be the first priority. It is
fundamental to the health of our economy and the lives of our people,” she will
say. —Emily Gosden, The Sunday Telegraph, 15 November

India has blocked G20 efforts to pave the way
for an ambitious climate change accord in a sign of deep divisions just two
weeks before delegates from almost 200 nations meet in Paris. Through almost 20
hours of talks at the G20 gathering in Turkey officials struggled to bridge a
political chasm even over language suggesting a common problem required a
collective solution. A senior EU official at the meeting of world leaders in
Antalya said: “At certain times I was feeling that we’re not living on the same
planet.” Most significantly India and Saudi Arabia opposed the inclusion of a
reference in the G20 statement to the need to discuss a “review mechanism” that
the EU and many economies say must be a central feature of the accord. If other
big economies follow suit, the weakening of the final accord would raise doubts
about the UN’s ability to do anything to combat climate change. —Alex Barker

Speaking for developing countries, in his
address to the G-20 Leaders, Prime Minister Modi will voice strong objections
to the environment and social safeguards standards being pushed by the World
Bank and other multilateral agencies for project finance and loans. He will
call for a balance at the Conference of Parties (COP) 21 December talks in
Paris so that development is not compromised as a result of the focus on
climate change. Mr. Modi is also expected to emphasise that the commitment from
the developed countries to make available from 2020 $100 billion of climate
finance every year to developing countries has to be ensured and a road map for
this should be laid down over the next five years. — Puja Mehra, The Hindu, 15 November 2015
In the first nine
months of this year, state-owned companies received preliminary or full approval to build the 155 coal power plants
that have a total capacity of 123 gigawatts, the report said. That capacity is
equal to 15 percent of China’s coal-fired power capacity at the end
of 2014. The construction boom — with capital costs estimated
by Greenpeace at $74 billion — is a clear sign that China remains entrenched
in investment-driven growth, despite promises by leaders to transform the
economic model to one based on consumer spending. —Edward Wong, The New York Times, 11 November 2015
