Okay all.
Now read this - some uncommon sense: <snipped out bollocks>
Coal currently accounting for less than 2% of our generation, but hey, why bring inconvenient facts into things?
Actually, at the moment I'm typing this, we've got more wind power being consumed than coal generation capacity. More nuclear, too.
"<snipped out bollocks>"
That's an extremely arrogant tone. You've just snipped out and stamped all over any respect I may have had for you. Ciao!
Couldn't care less if you respect me, because you don't respect anything else.
Come back with arguments, not nonsense articles from the uneducated.
Allow me to parse your rationale:
You: "Because I don't agree with what is said, I'll make clumsy, churlish ad-hominem references to the person that was the source of what was said, with which I do not agree, whilst showing an unwilling to respectfully, maturely and politely explain why I disagree..."
I'll wait for your intelligent, rational responses... <tumbleweed> - and in case it escapes you, try sticking to THE SUBJECT MATTER, not being distracted by someone who is a complete stranger to you, and you feel it your "right" to attack, conveniently distracting yourself FROM ACTUALLY SHOWING YOUR REASONING.
Why should I make the effort to present detailed arguments to you when you have expressly refused to do so with anyone else, preferring to mock others instead? Because you feel everyone should treat you better than you treat them?
I disregard his article based upon his obvious ignorance of the subject matter. Drax does not burn coal, and coal burning is not a relevant form of power generation in the country. This makes it an entirely useless comparator chosen solely for dramatic effect.
Other points are fairly equally nonsensical. Can't change the tyre on an EV without a hydraulic lift? .. I have one which can pick a Tesla up. I can pick it up with one hand. Not that it's any use, being that they, like the majority of cars today, don't come with spare wheels.
I frankly decline to further pick apart the inaccuracies of that 'article', as it's not worth the time. Those with relevant knowledge and experience don't require the explanation, and the only one here pushing said article isn't going to listen.
