    A dangerous animal is spreading yet another type of black tar in nature. This time to feed its infinte hunger for energy.

      This time to feed its infinte hunger for energy.

      UK electricity demand is down 20% since 2012, and continuing on a downward trend.

      Changes away from more polluting energy sources to meet this reduced demand is a good thing.

        We don’t share a common premise for a discussion. To you the industrial society is a constant and you think replacing nature with industrial energy production is a good trade. To me nature is a constant and I think replacing industrial society with more nature is a good trade.

        Global electricity demand is expected to rise at a faster rate over the next three years, growing by an average of 3.4% annually through 2026.

          This is replacing agricultural fields. Solar panels allow for a drastic increase in biodiversity over crop monocultures. It’s an improvement on the metrics you care about as well as in energy production.
