Like, we did this, and showed the world that it not only works at scale but that it can be primary source.

You keep your lands ‘pristine’, unsullied by the ‘dirty’, ‘unsustainable and unsophisticated’ cultures because you offshore your wastefulness and environmental destruction to foreign lands via overwhelming resource extraction and exploitation. Be proud of your ability for violence and cruelty but do not ever confuse it for ingenuity or virtue.

You’ve shown the world this works at scale? You have destroyed the world environment while maintaining these contradictions, that’s all you have shown the world.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I think the UK is a green paradise. It is far (far) from it, but I see initiatives like our fleet of wind turbines and I see figures like 40% and I can't help but feel proud.

Celebrate the small victories in life, otherwise the weight of the world will literally consume any sense of gentle good you might have
