ian rush Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 There's a big inconsistency in Caine's manifesto re climate/energy and the nimbyism of Garff and Laxey not having a local STW. Pumping to Meary Voar is a big energy cost over lifetime of plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Mrs Caine has said the 'pump away' proposal is her preferred option at this time - she would surely consider others that were kinder to the environment Government as the islands largest polluter has to set it's own house in order, & will have to provide offset for carbon cost of IRIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian rush Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The need for offsetting will be far reduced if any stw is built local to source and place of ultimate disposal. Isnt that Government trying to be proactive? Not everything can be offset. There has to be minimisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's PR mostly for big polluting institutions I agree, but in the IOM context Government must conduct it's own 'offsetting' campaign by extensive reforestation of the uplands & encouraging farming community to works towards 'soil health' etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used it to pay interest on the MEA loan as designed. Liars and crooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellanvannin2010 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I have had information and visits from all the candidates except the two former MHK’s which either shows they cba or are planning a late assault. I would not vote for either of them. Perhaps they know that. Edited September 12, 2021 by ellanvannin2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Mrs Caine has certainly been actively out on the stump, she details the feedback she gets each day on her Facebook campaign page If you would not vote for her then you are perhaps at the very, very bottom of her visiting list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on the toilet taxes I note the main toilet tax petitioner is back up in court again. I wonder what she’s done this time? http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=63549 Tabbing people's IP address's! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I was looking at the results from last time. Perkins won, by a lot. Like 500 votes. Why was that? Did he run a good campaign? Got loads of mates? What? And after 5 years of mostly being useless (OFT for example) does he still have that kind of support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
