How the EU Energy Commisssion and the English are buggering the planet.

The EU Energy Commission
At http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06/24/2284726.htm

EU energy commissioner Andris Piebalgs urged OPEC to do away with the grouping's production ceiling in order to provide relief to the market.
"In my opinion, there is no reason to keep ceilings on production," he told journalists.
"If there are no ceilings, markets will adapt much faster.

What's up with these idiots. Hey Andris: "Bugger the market... who cares about it. Oh yeah, clowns like you. Get it into your head: oil is GOING TO RISE BY POWERS OF 10 UNTIL THE PRICE GOES WAY OFF THE SCALE, AND THEN OIL WILL RUN OUT. The best thing to do is to consider the planet, NOT the bloody market, and scale back oil and energy production to planetary-sustainable levels. This way we as humans MIGHT have a chance of not becoming extinct."

Anyone want to give me a job running the EU. This clown obviously has no idea. He would be first for the chop.

The English
Apparently in England, SMEs are bound by law to print, ie hard-copy to dead tree, your business 'paper-war' like invoices. So its the law there, that to prove your expenses and tax position you are REQUIRED to help bugger the planet. 'Printing' to a file, eg Acrobat, is apparently not 'good enough'. They want real dead trees to be used. That sounds like a nationally legislated order compelling global human suicide. Nice going you Poms.
(Please someone: tell me I am wrong about this.)
