Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

[MarkyMarrk]

How would stating how long you've been with the Labour Party (if you even are) identify you in anyway?


Oh, it wouldn't.

Given what people have already established about me by going through my posts, and keep posting up, including my age, university, parents and area, it definitely would.

Plus the disgraceful bullying makes me nervous about who on here might find me.

But you probably know best.

... But leaving all that indigenous coal underground and untapped seems bonkers.

Future use of coal as an energy source is more likely to comprise burning it in situ underground (or pumping in gas to old seams to release methane and burn that). That's where the technology is heading, with greater control on emissions. The days of digging it out are over.

thank you for confirming its accuracy.

Coal seams aren't designed to be air-tight, so this idea that emissions can be controlled if we burn them underground instead is absolutely ludicrous on the face of it. That kind of nonsense, along with the "clean" coal scam, strike me as nothing more than overly-complicated attempts to have our cake and eat it when it comes to reducing emissions.

All that effort towards trying to de-carbonise fundamentally carbon-based energy generation methods would be better off spent on improving renewable and nuclear energy generation capability with as much local expertise as can be mustered. Assuming that a major goal is to reduce carbon emissions, that is.

What disgraceful bullying?

I think he means people disagreeing with him.

 

[existentialist]

What disgraceful bullying?

I hope he's reported it.

Coal seams aren't designed, they're just there. The projects I'm aware of (investigative only at the moment I think) involve sub-sea deposits. Burning is controlled by the input of oxygen, without this nothing burns. Control the pumping, control the generation. This is looking at very deep seams, below the water table and at a depth where geological impacts are unlikely. It's pretty safe, but yes, still involves burning carbon which we ought to be moving away from.

Coal remains a fundamental source of energy supply in the UK (about 30% of total requirement). Instead of digging it out from under our feet, where 300 years worth is 'stored', and thereby reviving deliberately screwed communities, capitalism UK inc' prefers to import huge amounts, lots of it produced in Colombia.. what an eco friendly option that is, carting it across the globe in ships! "The days of digging it out are over". Probably correct, but remains to be seen, and will depend upon too many variables to argue about with any real certainty.

 

[redcogs]

Incidentally, Colombian coal is nice and cheap to produce, facilitated, as it is, by the involvement of kids in the process - sometimes as forced labour:

"According to a 2013 U.S. Department of Labor report on the worst forms of child labor and labor conditions around the world, the Colombian mining industry has been known[by whom?] to employ underage children. The report indicated that Colombia's industrial sector employed 20% of the working children who were aged 5 to 14 years old.[18] However, and despite the government's participation in a "4-year, $9 million project to combat child labor and improve workplace health and safety in mining", children continue to engage in child labor. In fact, the Bureau of International Labor Affairs issued a List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor in December 2014 where Colombia was mentioned for its use of underage children in brick, coal, gold and emerald mining.[19]" (wiki)

Coal seams aren't designed, that was my point. How can they ensure that the carbon produced by any amount of oxygen introduced doesn't escape into the sea (geological disturbances like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions aside, some rocks and minerals are more porous than others) and thus contribute towards ocean acidification?

Coal may currently produce 30% of the UK's energy, but that doesn't mean it should stay that way.

 

[redcogs]

Why would the UK use coal that is produced by slave and child labour, then expensively shipped across the world ( by vested interest corporations ) who will move anything for money? Could the answer be related to the 1980s neutralising of the trade union movement in the UK?

 

[redcogs]

OK. More safe nuclear stations is it? Or maybe that carbon free gas that we are all so attached to? Or the carbon free oil that the world is awash with?

Who's suggesting gas or oil? Certainly not me. And nuclear is certainly safe compared to fossil fuels in terms of deaths per TWH.

People on here know my age, location, what degrees I hold, political leanings, and the fact that I was a member of Streatham CLP when I left in '94. They're welcome to look up anything they want about me, but it'll be difficult - going on impossible - without them knowing my name.

You're making excuses, and engaging in fantasy if you think anyone will track you down. The only poster who ever did anything like that comes from your neck of the woods, but he's been banned for years now.

why would anyone want to track him down and have to deal with his whining in person?

It's Corbyn he's afraid of - the Stalinist purge after the Glorious Election Revolution.

Well quite.
It's like that eejit Lib-Dem candidate who posted here (moon23?), then got the fears about posters finding out where he was standing and queering his pitch. Why the fuck would anyone bother?

i thought moon23 queered his own pitch more than any of us could

If there's going to be a purge by Stalinists, then Corbyn (a mere social democrat, although not to hear MarkyMarrk's ilk whine about him) would be in the firing line too.

corbyn in his wrath will send for all the whiny little shits who joined the labour party and ship them to the new gulag established on west falkland, south georgia and in the southernmost reaches of the british antarctick territory

Jolly bad luck for the exiles, being shipped off to a landmass known to house chthonic entities.

They will be allowed to take a chef from the Granita who will be able to think up some kind of penguin based amuse-bouche.

the chef from granita is in fact the head guard.
