Sir Roger Scruton's reort for the government's 'Building Better, Building Beautiful Commision' released today.

Top of the list - planting two million more trees and opening old canals in urban areas over the next 5 years.

I tend towards saying “no” to anything said or written by Scruton.

What's your solution?. To increase baseload of green leccy you need the ability to bring on line fast generated extra power to peak shave demand. Unless you have found a solution?

I have read it, and other stuff by him over the last 30 or more years. I don’t like him, and never did. He was an old fashioned torythat wanted life to be the way it used to be, which is impossible, so I consider his life’s work to have been a waste.

So you don't like the bloke so you rubbish his report without any reasons apart from you don't like him?

The key word is "huge". Local CCGT and CHP stations are part of the solution, but they don't make any contributions to the profits of multinational energy companies, so we don't get many of them.

I did. I found it a full explanation of why you give Scruton no credibility (and neither do I, for the same more-than-adequate reasons).

You make that sound like it's a bad thing. ?
