"I knew that UKIP members are divorced from reality, but even then I am astonished at Godfrey Bloom’s speech, in which he seemed to imply that Britain was self-sufficient on energy and did not need to work with, or even talk to, other countries. He says that Britain’s ‘lifeblood’ should not be in the hands of ‘foreigners’, but how does he want to avoid us importing energy? Certainly not by renewables, which he dismisses out of hand as ‘nonsense’ claiming that wind farms are ‘absurd’ and that ‘no reputable scientist’ would claim that renewable energy can play a significant part in Britain’s energy mix.
So, no imports, no renewables, North Sea oil and gas running out, nuclear, if kept, catering merely for a small proportion of electricity, and the possibilities for expanding coal being somewhat limited, the UKIP vision of Britain’s future, untarnished by ‘foreigners’, is a dark one!"@en1
