Wrote George Monbiot yesterday:
"In a previous article I showed how by switching the whole economy over to the use of electricity and by deploying the latest thinking on regional supergrids, grid balancing and energy storage, you could run almost the entire energy system on renewable power. The major exception is flying (don't expect to see battery-powered jetliners), which suggests that we should be closing rather than opening runways."
The newspaper for which he writes, however, continues to fuel the expansion of that industry - knowing full well what the implications are. When this is the best our mainstream media can do, something has surely gone horribly wrong.
