Having seen that my Tory MP here in NE England, Peter Gibson, reported as having spoken in Parliament in favour of government support for deep-see mining for minerals which, as I pointed out to him in an email with copious evidence, would be catastrophic. His response was, naturally, that electric vehicles, renewable energy etc. needs these minerals and who could not be in favour? The idea of consuming less, not having a private car, using public transport instead - way out of his comfort zone as a pro-capitalist Conservative. Let's change the conversation to less, instead of carrying on as we are but with renewables.
