Fuck me.

Pollution is so low that you can't even kill yourself with a hosepipe and exhaust any more. Flue Gas desulphurisation (FGD) has lowered the pollution from coal power stations by over 96% (Greenpeace figures, just looked them up.) Tobacco exposure is down, the vast majority of towns and cities are smokeless, Coalite Bolsover is shut, (their cracker gave off huge amounts of dioxins in the '60s and '70s, and Sellafields is a few granite mountains away from 99.9998% of the population of The UK.

Revolution?

Keep going round in circles whilst I stand watching you going dizzy...

In case those who blame big business for everything didn't work it out, let me tell you. There are £££££ to be made in renewables, ££££££ to be made in recycling, ££££££ to be made selling and building FGD plants at power stations, ££££££ to be made lowering pollution.

Far more to be made stopping it than causing it.
