Joe Otten's useful heads-up on Caroline Lucas and the dogma of the Church of EnvironMentalism reminds me of something I meant to blog about a while back but left alone largely to avoid overloading the world with energy stuff.

Had this from Steve Dawe, who along with yours truly, Caroline Lucas and Keith Taylor is part of the Green Party slate for South East Constituency of the European Parliament. Will Thanet become part of China? Well put like that it sounds rather fun, however concreating over large parts of the countryside around Broadstairs is not something that is attractive to local residents.
