I heard the following today from Brown

"But that has to be the outcome ( shutting down of coal industry )- the coal industry has to be replaced by renewables"

What an absolutely disgraceful thing to say . I hope every person who works in this industry, and every family that directly and indirectly relies on this industry for their livelihood , listens very carefully to what this lunatic has said today . Your standard of living is being directly threatened, and you need to speak up or wear the consequences. And if you think renewables can provide base load electricity in this country , you are sadly mistaken .
