Warning to the People

I will bet Orwell never saw this coming. Here is what your governments are going to be shoving down your throats in the near future, all in the name of saving the planet from the evil climate change. Whether you like it or not... From "The Daily Mail" UK:

Homeowners who refuse to make their properties energy efficient will face financial penalties under drastic government plans to transform Britain into the world's first 'green' economy.

Ministers yesterday promised deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions that they warned would mean everyone in the country having to 'live, work and travel differently'.

Unveiling the plans, Environment Secretary David Miliband said it would be "painful" to continue to have an "energy inefficient home". Those that did would face higher bills, he added.

Transport will also undergo radical overhaul as Britain moves towards becoming a "low- carbon economy", the Government said.

Vehicles will be made more fuel efficient, effectively forcing current gas-guzzling models off the road.

Opposition politicians and green campaigners said the Government's proposals did not go far enough


Bend over Rover.... and yes...this is going to hurt... Welcome to the new world...

AB...
I'm liking the idea of selling off everything and moving to hills and living like Grizzly Adams more and more. But if I were to do that... the left wins, and I can't for the life of me, let happen...
