Iceland, a country with huge reserves of clean energy is being ignored while we destroy the planet, play geopolitical games which leave millions dead, all so a an elite dependent on oil can continue to exploit the whole world?
Now,I'm not a green ideologue and a few years ago I would have had a guilty shrug and thought, tough, but if it keeps me lights on so be it.
But there are practical alternatives out there which, with a bit of political conviction and courage, could transform the whole energy infrastructure within a few years, yet we insist on squeezing the last few drops of fossil fuel out of the earth.
Cameron is giving tax breaks to fracking companies while reducing tax breaks for PV and wind ( the latter I don't mind, as renewables need to move to viable productivity and the WF subsidies have left the sector fat and lazy)
Even the argument regarding "wot happens when the sun don't shine and there's no wind" are becoming increasingly redundant due to new storage techniques being developed.
