EDF: A Total Basket Case, Weighed Down By Its £50 Billion Nuclear Turkey At Hinkley Point.

January 25, 2024
EdF’s bosses must be thanking their lucky stars that President Macron decided to take complete control of EdF back in 2022. Otherwise, its latest announcements about further delays and cost increases for its new reactors at Hinkley Point would have sent any remaining investors running for the…
Caroline Lucas – A Personal Tribute
June 9, 2023
Caroline Lucas’s decision yesterday to step down at the next election came as a bit of a shock for the Green Party. After 13 years as an MP, 15 years as an MEP, 4 years as a County Councillor, and 11 years (on and off) as Party leader, she had quite simply come to personify the Green Party. Hers is…

What does ‘Zero Deforestation’ mean to you?
September 4, 2014
This is not a trick question. But it sure as hell is a tricky question! As evidenced by a very mischievous article by Ben Webster in The Times today making out that I had just launched new campaign to cut down what’s left of the world’s rainforests just as quickly as possible! What I was actually…
