MPs to Consider Bill Likely to Cause Mass Starvation, Death, Disease and Societal Collapse in Near Future

A little science and realism might go a long way for supporters of a bill that seeks to ensure the end of the “exploration, extraction, export and import of fossil fuels by the United Kingdom as rapidly as possible”. Even the mad Miliband, the current Energy Minister, accepts that gas has a part to play in keeping the lights on – hardly a surprise given the wind droughts of this winter, the lack of back-ups and the consequent need for up to 70% gas electricity generation. If realism fails to materialise there are tough choices ahead – who will step up to the plate to take away the life-saving heat that warms the homes of senior citizens or ban the inhalers that calm their winter asthma? Perhaps the 200 MPs listed on the Zero Hour site as supports of the bill will be asked such questions next time they seek the votes of the wider electorate.
