Derby's Council House will be plunged into darkness

“No doubt they are now trying passionately to stop an extra 172,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air above our brilliant planet every year ( plus the dioxin which we are supposed to be reducing, not increasing it) from the planned Derbyshire incinerator (to be built in Derby)

The Derbyshire prototype incineration plant in the Isle of wight is to be shut down next year after breaching dioxin limits by 800%. Dioxin is known to cause cancer and birth defects. Yet it is OK to build a polluting, non-working, experimental, high carbon incineration plant in Derby.

In the same year that the Derbyshire incineration plant is planned to be built, the UK Health Protection Agency is to commence studies of birth defects in the vicinity of 'modern' incinerators. How passionately you care about the pregnant women who will be breathing in the dioxin from the Derby incineration plant

“"Surplus power is burned off by dumping it into huge electric heaters at the power station, the heaters are shut down when the demand increases, thus diverting the energy to the grid."

Absolute garbage”

“Well DCC have been in the dark for so long now they probably won't notice the difference!”

“Renewables do cost more - now.
As it becomes more and more expensive / environmentally damaging to extract fossil fuels then renewables will become more economic.
Once upon a time cars were luxury items, since Henry Ford prices have dropped and now not owning a car is regarded as a factor in the US poverty calculations.
Mass production of solar panels and turbines will lead to price reductions and better and better designs
Already fossil electicity is more expensive than 10 years ago and some countries are allowing shale fuels to be exploited despite massive impact on landscape”

“Derby ity Council has been in the dark for years.”

“Welsh Dreamer how many householders do you know who leave their lights on all night? The ones I know turn their lights off along with every appliance bar fridge and freezer. I would say that's the same for most people”
