Gas is almost a give-away in the U.S. at the moment. They've gone for fracking in a big way. This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it... Let's be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it.
From James Lovelock
Life clearly does more than adapt to the Earth. It changes the Earth to its own purposes. Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia.
Florida will be gone altogether, the whole damned place, in not too long.
We'd never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn't been for space exploration and NASA.
If it hadn't been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space.
An inefficient virus kills its host. A clever virus stays with it.
We rushed into renewable energy without any thought. The schemes are largely hopelessly inefficient and unpleasant. I personally can't stand windmills at any price.
There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.
If a power station were to be built down the road, I'd prefer a nuclear plant over an oil burner, and definitely over a coal burner. We simply have to lessen our consumption of fossil fuels.
So-called 'sustainable development'... is meaningless drivel.
