I think it’s already here Ed. Starmer may be more subtle, but he’s blocking any and everything that might give the UK a fighting chance to avoid it.

Not if we build an alternative

As long as they drop their NIMBYism and have proper plans, gladly will.

edpoole1975.bsky.social•33 days ago

The NIMBYism is a Labour electioneering myth and we have proper plans. Is there anything in particular you want to see plans for?

saintthejase.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not in MY back yard

Green obviously don't oppose solar farms. There are thousands that no Green has ever objected to.That doesn't mean everywhere is a good location for one. Sometimes particular locations are unsuitable for other environmental reasons.

saintthejase.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, my back yard for instance

edpoole1975.bsky.social•33 days ago

There are solar farms near me.No local Greens objected. Same almost everywhere but I agree solar farms on fields is not ideal from an environmental point of view.

Then there is HS2. No public transport in MY back yard

edpoole1975.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is Green Party policy to finish HS2. Now that most of the damage is locked in (mostly on the southern section) the benefits should be seen (the much needed Northern section).

Been way too much pissing about on it.

Plus the cost of public transport in this country is ridiculous. You can two government is not serious about climate change when it’s cheaper for a family to drive than train. Hell, sometimes it’s cheaper if a single person drives instead of trains.
