Yes, and what makes this particular folly worse is that their ridiculous ecological policies, apart from being economically ruinous, don't actually achieve anything to address the perceived ecological problems!

Talk about incompetent.
I agree total, but why have they got this obsession? I think I need to read the book you quoted as I can find no logical reason for their thinking, there isn't even votes in it for them.
