The fact that “some others” do/don’t do things so we should/shouldn’t is pretty lame to be honest.My point is that if Britain vanished overnight the actual difference to World pollution would be tiny and yet we have people scared to turn their heating on and businesses refusing to invest because of our high energy costs. And all in the name of net zero.
If renewables were so good we would have lovely cheap electric.
And no my plan would not be to use more gas but to go all nuclear like France did in the 70s.
All of the things you listed above are just wasting energy, and cost almost nothing in terms of hard cash or lifestyle change to sort (cards to turn off electric in hotels have been a thing from before being green was ever a thing.) . The idea that you wouldn’t do this just because “someone else isn’t” is like a kid in a playground.
I guess France must be leaving the heating on and doors open because it’s sooo cheap (too cheap to meter?) I guess - or maybe not? Or maybe, just maybe, there’s some other factors at play in terms of energy pricing and not just “green bad, everything else good”?
