Letters: CLIMATE FANTASY

Pure electric world to be, 

End of fossil fuel some see. 

Twenty-fifty vanquish smoke, 

Emissions would be tired joke. 

Electric cars in fashion now, 

Climate saving to endow. 

Political will is then imposed, 

Theory Doctor Mann proposed. 

Subsidies and incentives made, 

Not economic, I’m afraid. 

Coal and oil then disappearing, 

Wind and solar only nearing. 

Potential of new modes are low  

They are costly we must know. 

Wind and solar base load not, 

Less delivered than we’ve got. 

Spending more and getting less, 

Poorer then, we must confess. 

Albert Reeve
