Wow so this new government is now literally toxic not just in the political sense. Anyone else feels like being on the Titanic?

Climate change department killed off by Theresa May
The decision to abolish the Department for Energy and Climate Change has been variously condemned as “plain stupid”, “deeply worrying” and “terrible” by politicians, campaigners and experts. One of Theresa May’s first acts as Prime Minister was to move responsibility for climate change to a new Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.

wow. :/ If not the Titanic, then a very bad dream.
Seems like a smart move. The US would be well served to eliminate the EPA, or re task the EPA to help and assist business to grow and thrive in a cost effective and Environmentally friendly way. Right now they just harass American industry and even land owners into backruptcy.
+Michael T Thompson this is anything but. The tories is the British equivalent of your republicans, they're tax dodgers funded by the oil and gas industry. They care nothing for environmental protection. The only way they would care would be if there was a profit to make.
+Elizabeth Hahn trust me, I wish this was all a bad dream…
+Jean-Loup Rebours-Smith do you use oil and gas in the UK?
+Michael T Thompson unfortunately
+Jean-Loup Rebours-Smith OK then, so until your First World lifestyle is powered by Unicorn Farts. How about managing the Energy development and Manufacturing in a responsible way rather than regulating these necessary evils to a 3rd world county where NO REGULATION EXISTS. Your narrative just kills people in a far away land to fuel your unrealistic bohemian lifestyle
+Michael T Thompson obviously you're not aware that we draw most of these fossil fuels locally, actually scratch that based on your rhetoric you know nothing about our local energy supply.
And as for your argument about managing energy in a responsible way this is precisely what is in danger of being scrapped. Please go patronise someone else now
+Michael T Thompson +Jean-Loup Rebours-Smith seems like there are many unicorns in Germany. I think the Germans can be considered having a first world lifestyle, don't they? http://energytransition.de/2016/05/germany-nearly-reached-100-percent-renewable-power-on-sunday/
Yeah, stuff like this is very sad indeed. All while other European nations like Germany and Sweden are making great strides toward 100% renewable and clean energy production. Which is where the entire world need to go asap.
And Scotland having met its carbon reduction targets 6 years early…
Spain and Portugal are also heading towards 100% renewables thanks to their solar intake
