^^^ Turkey holds massive reserves of fresh drinking water. You think that Middle East oil holds sway? Watch this space….

Meanwhile here’s a Lithium mine.And its effects.It’s worse than lead.
So the fresh water courses get turned into an sulphurous acidic toxic soup downstream of the geothermal/lithium wells and power stations.To add to nuclear power and biomass burning so that ‘developing’ countries can take all the cheap safe fossil fuels.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_toxicityWhat a choice for fresh drinking water we have in the not too distant future we face!, Either a toxic mixture of acidic toxic soup or flammable water due to the fracking industry.
We’ll be heading back to the 15th century where they drank ‘small beer’ because the water back then wasn’t fit to drink.
They won’t make much decent beer from water that’s polluted by geo sulphur products and lithium.
All that and the risk of nuclear disaster across the border in France so that cheap safe fossil fuel can be used by ‘developing’ countries.
While the Alps are stripped of their woodland for biomass.
How bleedin green.
But look on the bright side I can still burn anthracite if they cut the gas off and I can somehow install a coal boiler.
There’s rumblings afoot in the wood burning stove world again due to excessive toxic wood smoke 
500 wood burners are sold per day in the UK airqualitynews.com/2021/11/23/f … -industry/

But they probably conveniently have no problem with use of biomass used for electricity generation.
If they did that’s going to increase the odds of a potential nuclear disaster by around 100% and increase the cost of electricity from 26p per kwh to around 40p per kwh.

Yes well said, It makes you wonder what they’ll do with wood burning stoves as building will be subject to carbon pricing on the ETS (emission trading system) I haven’t seen anything mentioned about wood burners, only coal & gas use will be subject to carbon pricing so far.
The Lithium mine is a Copper and Cobalt mine based in the democratic republic of the Congo (DRC)

The choice of solid fuel boiler fuelled with biomass pellets v electric at 26p per kwh is a no brainer.
While the public isn’t generally aware of the stated plan to equalise gas prices with electric …yet.
While a bunch of free loading student useful idiots living on student loans and/or their parents paying for their living costs, isn’t a representative guide to the public reaction when that plan is fully implemented.Which leaves the even more naive who think that heat pumps can really do the same job that their present gas boiler does at the same price.
Having bought the sales pitch of more energy out than energy in, for their £10-20k investment in the new useless kit.
All so that our gas can be burn’t by ‘developing’ countries.
Got my self some ready cut pine to light my coal and hardwood from the Congo rainforest

Nice one Dan, the lorry looks great!
Thank you 
Oh er missus, Some amendments to wood burning stoves since the Environmental bill became the Environmental act last month.
I live in a ‘Smoke control area’ & there’s a shedload of houses with wood burners here, Their are a pair of houses in the next street that belch smoke out of their chimneys this time of year, God knows what they’re burning as it stinks.
“Schedule 12 amends the Clean Air Act 1993 to allow local authorities to impose financial penalties in smoke control areas. This seems to be squarely aimed at reducing PM2.5 emissions, since domestic stoves/fires are known to contribute significantly to PM2.5 levels. The existing criminal offence of emitting smoke from a chimney in a smoke control area is replaced with a civil penalty regime, which should enable a quicker and simpler style of enforcement for emissions of smoke in these areas.” airqualitynews.com/2021/12/20/e … r-quality/

It’s disgraceful isn’t it, a chimney producing actual smoke. This will only be an issue for urban hipsters with wood burners, it won’t be for Countryside dwellers who forage a bit of wood to burn and keep warm in winter, they won’t be having a knock on the door from an enforcement officer looking to cap their chimney
