General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I was just wandering did anyone see a report on the bbc news channel yesterday , concerning INDIA'S energy crisis .It told us that India is 74 % totally dependant for it's energy use of COAL . It stated that they are planning to open a further 30 /50 extra coal mines to meet their demand for energy consumption . Here again is a question i put on here some time ago and that is WHY is this tiny island of BRITAIN going hell for leather to get us away from fossil fuels and to put all our eggs in one basket and to " GO ALL ELECTRIC ???? One should not forget that countries like CHINA /RUSSIA/POLAND / RUMANIA /USA/ AUSTRALIA/ are ALL BURNING COAL at such a huge pace .SO I ASK what will the impact this tiny country will make to the world's climate ..( just think about it ) It will be miniscule, So why have we closed all our mines down and put hundred's yes hundred's of thousand's of people out of work ,, FOR WHAT IF THESE OTHER'S ARE NOT GIVING A TOSS? Seeing that news item on INDIA they quoted saying " We have 1.4 BILLION PEOPLE TO FEED AND KEEP WARM & TO KEEP THEIR INDUSTRY RUNNING WE CAN'T JUST TURN OFF OUR COAL PRODUCTION ,,,....SO THERE YOU HAVE IT ,,CLIMATE CHANGES ,,,,,,YOUR JOKING .......GB
