“Don’t Lecture Me On Green Issues!” Royal Family To Buy Two New Helicopters Despite Eco-Conscious

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
  • The royal household is to take delivery of two new helicopters, as it committed itself to maximising use of the aircraft.
    At a previous financial briefing in 2022, a source described the eco-conscious King, then-Prince of Wales, as “pretty allergic” to travelling by helicopter and said he would always “raise an eyebrow” and object when the mode of transport was suggested.
    But the Sovereign Grant financial report published on Wednesday revealed the aircraft will arrive in 2024-25, with the plan approved by the Treasury.
    Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan discusses the story with chair of The Together Declaration, Alan Miller.

      How often do Charles and William attend any thing together that needs transport like that, and if they do they surely have the technicians to keep the ones going. Most people have cars that need maintaining at some point but we can't just go to the government and ask for a new one nevermind 2.

    Bio fuel is made of food ie it requires us putting food into our petrol tanks.
    This might cause a few food shortages (block margarine nearly impossible to find on supermarket shelves) and put prices up (cooking oils, block margarine price now up by 250%).
    What is a minor inconvenience in this country causes food shortages and even hunger in other countries.
    Well done King Charles.
    He is not alone in these strategies that risk causing severe hardship in 3rd world nations.
    All the planned grants to roll out reliable and affordable fossil fuel generated electricity across Africa were cancelled a few years ago.
    Millions of people have been deprived of a huge upgrade in their living standards that would have meant they could feed their kids better, work more efficiently and would have given them a chance to find a way out of the abject poverty that comes with restricted access to affordable electricity.
    South Africa has had a disastrous experiment with unreliables. Tolling blackouts occur daily for hours on end.
    Dont' support any party in the UK that promotes replicating the same restrictions in our nation.
    Vote Reform, join Reform and even consider standing for Reform.
    We want our country back!

It is a way to move forward for everyone who may use helicopters to travel. Building New modern echo friendly homes and using hydroelectricity is wonderful and proven but the Governments should have modern standards to follow for ALL homes and hotels and make sure they are ALL inspected to the highest standard.

Im sorry but I cant share your outrage over the Royal Family when its celebrities and your politicians who are deciding what is going to happen. Prince William has the Earthshot Prize to encourage innovation in making the planet greener and making it affordable. Thats why Prince William has been flying commercial. Theyve been listening to you - maybe you should listen before sticking your foot in it. Im not for net zero but Im all for finding solutions.
