Kent County Council have approved the building of a clean coal powered electricity generating station. This is despite objections from Greenpeace.
Until Greenpeace can tell us how it can provide all our electricity needs with renewable energy, replace everything that dwindling oil does for us, feed a world that also wants to feed its cars with bio-fuel and cope with overpopulation then clean coal it is.
A good mix of renewable energy, nuclear, coal and oil powered electricity stations will be required until the world gets to grips with the underlying problem. Too many people.

The problems with renewable energy are unrelated to population.
Let me proof read again...
Nope, I don't mention anything about overpopulation causing problems for renewable energy.
I highly recommend downloading and reading the full report from Zero Carbon Britain:

Might change your mind a bit about the energy generation mix that is / isn't needed?
I do hope there's a section on overpopulation.
We shall see. It will either be an interesting read or a quick scan for me...
And indeed the report makes no mention of population.
Is there any point when there are 2.5 billion people on the way? Two billion of them to be born in countries with no infrastructure for a zero carbon lifestyle but a desire for 20th century western living.
You are the king of saying the obvious but unpopular things. Of course population is the fucking problem - put in 0 as the population in ANY resource equation, and all problems go away. Therefore, population is a very important variable. Anybody who doesn't see this is basically just thick.
By the way, the site "tooManyPeople.wordpress.com" is available if you want to spread the message more directly..!
I shall check out that site.
I'm sure they could do with another nutjob.
I agree, overpopulation is the problem and it's going to get worse; but, who in their right mind is going to be the voice of this blockbuster?
That sounds like a job for me.
