The British way of life as they know it - is done! WWII style rationing permanently!

Well, there is a ton of land left over here. Feel free! And get your citizenship so you can work on American nukes!

What I want to know is, what is it going to take for the Brits to stand up? Their lives get worse every day, yet no one does anything about it over there. Strange.

Would beans and cabbage require "carbon allowances" ?

Yes - they use hydrocarbons in the production - fertilizer.

Gordon Brown can go and stick it up his Scottish ass.

I'm sick of Labour's BS putting the screws on us here in the UK, it's game over and the rest of the world knows it. That Bastard Brown wants us to pay for this crap like solar panels & wall insulation and so on. Thanks to this present Labour government and all those 130 taxes they have bought in since 1997 I am struggling with the cost of living.

As usual, subman, an edited version of the article to 'prove' your point. Merely a proposal put forward by a parliamentary committee, just as all such bodies do all over the world all the time - and quickly dismissed as politically and financially unworkable. If you took the time to examine the activities of similar US political committees you would, I have no doubt, find plenty of ideas which never leave the drawing board.

As I would expect something like this to never leave the board, but as always, you Brits always seem to surprise to the point of disbelief! Your political committees are notoriously effective at draconian policy.

Just go look at all the threads started by STEED and you will have you answer on the likelihood of this passing. I'd say the odds are quite good!

No. What you require is Air Pollution Allowances. :p :rotfl:

Subman, I curious you seem to 'know' a lot about how bad things are over here in thre UK; have you ever even been to the UK?

The only good government is a small government that doesn't bother you much.

As far as Britain goes I've been there only twice but it seemed like a lovely country. Gas prices seemed rather high (this was when U.S. gas was only a dollar a gallon) and the taxes and gun control policies didn't suit me but other than that, very nice.

Get a load of this, on Country file today there was a article about wind power and Gordon Brown is setting up a greater number of wind turbines to fall in line with the EU co2 omissions target which will decrease our co2 but here's the catch, our electric bills are set to rocket sky high. Some trade off this is which is going to cause problems by 2020.
