The evidence -
Via Tallbloke we have this from the BBC.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he wants to make a "big bet" on renewables, turning the UK into the "Saudi Arabia" of wind power.
Talking via video link to a roundtable discussion at the UN in New York, he said the country held "extraordinary potential" for wind energy.
He said the UK should embrace a range of new technologies to achieve its goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
The UK holds the presidency of the UN climate conference, known as the COP.
What is the nutcase saying here? We clear out the people and turn the UK into a giant wind farm to supply other countries with intermittent electricity? Surely Prime Ministers should as far as possible restrict themselves to pronouncements which are not so obviously bonkers.
Maybe not though. Maybe he is just as casually cynical as Tony Blair with much the same political outlook.

For the many years I've been aware of him, he has struck me as profoundly uneducated in the science and technology sphere.
For thrusting and aggressive figures in the public arena, who aspire vision and grand plans, this is a considerable lack because they don't have the intellectual hinterlands to temper their wayward thoughts.
The way that the covid pandemic has been managed could suggest that the powers-that-be are softening us up for the sort of lives we will lead if they ever manage to get close to their bonkers scheme to phase out fossil fuels
Tammly - well put - they certainly don't have the intellectual hinterlands to temper their wayward thoughts.
Graeme - I see it that way too. It is clearly being used as an opportunity.
