On the subject of fraud....

The greens would have us all drive fuel cell electic cars and use solar panels.

Although electric propulsion is efficicient, the manufacture, delivery and storage of Hydrogen for fuel cells is extremely inefficient. Maufacturing Hydrogen is very electric power intensive, guess where that power comes from, coal fired power stations!!.

With todays technology, a hydrogen powered fuel cell powered electric car generates double the greenhouse gas a regular petrol car does. Banning fuel cell electric cars should be the 1st priority!.

Silicon solar panels, use lots of silicon (duh), glass and steel framing. The energy required to make a solar panel (think processing silicon and glass from sand, and steel from raw materials) is VASTLY more than the energy the solar cell would ever produce in its lifetime.
