Caroline Lucas (Green MP) arrested

Yes Passivhaus costs more initially- it depends on the exact house- but you can have one built for £1k per m^2. The health benefits from indoor ventilation and effective self-sufficiency provided through solar electricity (which also powers heat pumps that mean no gas is needed in winter or in summer to provide geat and can be reversed to provide air conditioning in summer- may actually be needed to regenerated heat taken from under the ground) mean that bills in the long-term are very low. A typical Passivhaus uses only 10% of the heating of an average UK home, easily provided for by a heat pump, and with storage there is enough electricity to power all essential appliances. As research is suggesting we can double power output on current solar panels, and, as appliances become ever more efficient, the amount of outside electricity needed is small enough to be easily provided for by wind/tidal etc. For example, new battery efficiency and power consumption will mean that a single charge on a current phone will last for 2-3 weeks (many times more efficient). So, as you can see, the gap between your own energy production and consumption will lessen and lessen: bills will be in fact reduced if the government invested in these housing stocks/technologies and installed them in everyone's homes.

Has poor Caroline Lucas not been getting enough attention recently? I'd like to know what she has to say to the elderly who die every winter because they can't afford to heat their homes.

She might point to the secretive, cartelised, monopolistic energy 'markets' and their manipulation of energy prices for one thing. Not to mention the systematic way that pensioners have had their incomes reduced by a combination of delinking pensions from earnings and the hedge fund sector being allowed to milk private pensions.

That's just for starters.

So it's got nothing to do with these graphs then?

Say that when you don't have a ****ing planet to drive your 4x4 or no fuel.

In my honest opinions im quite liking the hotter summers, as it indirectly means less people will be going on holiday which means more people will indirectly stop using planes which indirectly leads to less plane fuel consumption and car fuel as more people are sunbathing in their back gardens, which indirectly leads to a better tan which indirectly leads to higher confidence for people which indirectly leads to harder working confident people which indirectly leads to a better workforce which indirectly leads to a better work ethic which indirectly leads to more jobs which indirectly leads to more tax revenue which indirectly leads to more investment for more renewable sources of energy.

Thats my two cents.

I bet you indirectly like droughts and dead people as well. Poor trolling attempt on a subject you can't even grasp.

I don't even know that much about the science of fracking. I just don't want to be made to pay people to waste police time.

I should imagine this'll be bad publicity for the Greens. My Dad voted for them a few years ago even though he's quite right-wing because he cares a lot about climate change. He's done nothing but moan at seeing this specific protest on the news every night.

I can't take the Greens and Lucas seriously when they're protesting against fracking at a site that isn't even being fracked. These are just middle class NIMBYs protesting against a possible reduction in the value of their property and having the roughnecks in their area.

Last i heard, Venice was sinking, not drying up!

Everything i said was true, you dont like the heat? Move to Siberia.

Also, my piece ended with a happy ending where we have more renewable sources of energy, so in this sense you have failed horrifically.

You're an absolute idiot, climate change doesn't just mean drying up, it can mean floods as well and it affects different parts of the earth differently.
You didn't know that London has had less water supplies now that it ever has had, so just stop talking.

What absolute rubbish. If you're talking about Balcombe, it's a possible fracking site. If you're talking about where she was arrested, it was outside the offices of Caudrilla, who are one of the leading companies pushing for fracking.

The property price thing might be true of some people, but it's irrelevant as far as Caroline Lucas is concerned. Cheap, smearing shots do not an argument make.
