"Mr President, throughout our life in politics, people were complaining in Britain about the mining of fossil fuels. When Margaret Thatcher died and her funeral was an opportunity for retrospective comment, we heard again and again a number of politicians and commentators saying that the most evil and disagreeable thing she had done was to close down the mining sector and prevent this extraction of fossil fuels. Yet exactly the same people – not the same kinds of people but precisely the same individuals, politicians and newspapers – are now complaining about the extraction of fossil fuel in the form of shale oil and gas.
There are times when I really struggle to enter into the mentality of my fellow citizens. We are told on the one hand that mining coal is a good thing, but then that burning it is a bad thing. How are we supposed to make sense of that?"@en1
