Yes, it's an idiotic story, but I think the future obscure enough to make idiots of all of us. Kev's internet dream. The greenies in the 80s fighting against low carbon energy. Chiropractors in the 50s arguing against vaccination. I just hope for the best solutions to be chosen, and that is extremely difficult to get right. It might surprise you Aidan that I would be very happy to be wrong about renewables. I certainly have no delusions of infallibility.
