So it's ok to subsidise windfarms and solar energy but not nuclear because that's unlawful and unfair

Sounds like this is from the Labour-Lib Dem school of 'subsidy theory' which comes out with psychobabble like 'cyclists subsidize motorists'

Could you imagine if todays NIMBYs, politicians and various Moonbat types were transplanted into the 1700 and 1800s. We'd have no houses, no roads, no railways, no electricity, no nothing. We'd all be huddled up in Caves.

Back then, there was REAL poverty, where people starved. The Industrial Revolution helped remedy some of of this, no-one in their right minds, left or right political persuasion would have argued against it. Do we have to regress to pre-Industrial Revolution times for the hard of thinking to realise how bad life was, especially for the poorest?

Spotted that yesterday, and posted in the 'things that annoy beyond all reason' thread.

These people won't be happy until we're shovelling 2 million tonnes of horse st out of our cities every day again, and back to living in darkness

Do you really think there wasn't any vigorous opposition & protests against the building of Victorian Railways and the desecration of natural beauty, farms and homes? No protests/riots against industrialisation & the building of factories? I think you need a history lesson.

But, the protesters were proven to be, on the whole, misguided. The benefits of industialisation far, far outweighed the damage caused.
