2112 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Another day, another piece of bullshit trotted our. Nobody said things are going to be easy. HRH is spinning his green crusade like it’s the solution to problems of society, and it’s magic bullet is training students in green studies! Forgive me, but didn’t we have Government administrations encourage everyone to study film etc and the great film and television sector was our saviour. It’s like egaming - skilled people with shedloads of experience and qualifications working then being made redundant as the egaming company ups sticks and relocates to a better jurisdiction. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/achieving-carbon-neutral-island-hard-says-chief-minister/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's around £11,000 for every man, woman and child, which even spread over 30 years sounds like an impossible sum of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He engaged mouth without putting his brain into gear! Still a growth area, we can have an extra layer or two of Civil Servants. How about a Climate Change Minister? A Climate Change Department? And the TT and FOM will have to be abandoned if we are fulfill our carbon emissions obligations. We can have all electric bike racing, just hope there’s no rain!

Rog Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 One really would have expected a farmer to be sufficiently aware of the environment to realise what adopting green policies would entail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they know how to apply for Government grants and other associated handouts! Another opportunity for farmers to go green, if there’s a grant or two? Eco-tourism? Holiday Cottages? I think most farmers will be sufficiently aware of the environment to realise what adopting green policies would entail. They certainly have experience of government bureaucracy, and form filling.

The subject of TT/FOM emissions was brought up a few weeks ago and the response was that the rest of us were to produce less over the rest of the year to offset it!
