"Green" energy-saving policies have been drilled into us. We will never be able to produce cheap goods at a profit like China can.
To preserve "quality of life" our population needs reducing, not adding to, especially in the South East. Better positive action would involve stopping foreign countries using their "sovereign wealth funds" to cherry-pick purchase our best companies, especially in utilities.
