Strong on issoooes they are. Short on facts unfortunately.

Strong on all sorts of facts about how micropower influences
people's attitudes to energy.

So it's attitude that influences the amount of CO2 emitted by energy
generation is it? Hadn't realised that.

That's because the "social arguments" are largely nonsense spouted by
agenda driven propagandists who don't have a sustainable argument.

A mildly amusing assertion, but incorrect.

Hardly, look at the makeup of your "Sustainable Development
Commission". Led by Baron Porritt, Eton educated lawyer and son of
the ex Governor General of New Zealand. Green Party founder and well
known campaigner against almost anything. Closest he has been to
"social housing" is studying a photograph of one.

Of the 14 other members of this so called "independent" commission
one is an unsuccessful Labour party parliamentary candidate, one a
paid consultant for a company that makes money promoting
"environmental awareness", one a Media Studies lecturer, one a
teacher of tourism and non-formal education. Another heads a company
designing "sustainable energy" equipment, yet another is an expert in
consumer behaviour and a professional playwright. One is apparently
an expert in "facilitator networks" using "community visioning" and
runs a company selling the service (whatever it may be).

More than a half of them are members of one or more of the Labour
Party, the Green Party, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and other
groups with vested interests. More than a quarter run companies
selling the services or products they are promoting.

Oh, it does also have a token scientist.

Independent?
