THE local 'Green' lobby out in force. Now that evidence proves that wind turbines are an uneconomic as well as an aesthetic nightmare they are preaching about global warming, with claims that the world is running out of natural resources.

The improved "fracking" process for getting oil from rock and shale has proved revoluntionary.

However, according to the Greens this was never meant to happen and mankind was almost due to run out of oil in the next few years.

However, the law of supply and demand shows that when there is a shortage of any commodity, human ingenuity will always come up with a solution.

This of course supposes that the free market is allowed to operate. Politicians tend to dislike that. That is especially true of the Lib Dems and the Greens. Watch them while they still exist.
