Yea it is There is a weird belief from some that putting her on as a headliner will kill the festival, while forgetting that Mumford and Sons headlining didn't.

World's first year-long breach of key 1.5C warming limit

Are we talking zero carbon emissions from generation or zero carbon for the full life cycle of the generator. The first is possible, I really can't see how we can acheive the second without using fossil fuels or having the components made abroad.

We really can't be using fossil fuels for decades, the science is clear, we haven't got that long to be messing about. A radical change is required across the board and not just in our chosen use of fuel/power sources, but also in which technology we continue to use, how we life our lifes, what's actually important and most impotantly we need a massive (for want of a better word) spiritual evolution.

You clearly haven't read what I've written. My point is that we can't just stick up a few wind turbines and a load of EV charging point, insulate a few buildings etc It's an extremely complicated problem with a huge number of factors. If we really want to reach 100% "clean" energy, then how about the goods produced for us in India/China etc? Are we going to do without them or make them here? Or more likely just ignore and claim the associated emissions have nothing to do with us.

It's a good question. Currently likely to be deisel, but I reckon you'd get a lot more moved per litre than using HGV's. Of course there's the option to use horses.

I don't really care who is saying it or where it's coming from and of course we should try. All I'm saying is that I know enough (Fdsc Renewable Energy Technologies, BSC Hons 2:1 Environmental Resource Management) to know that with the way we're going and the huge scale of the problem it's highly unlikely we will get anywhere near.

100% clean energy? They haven't got a hope in hell. Sure they may be able to get all electricity production "clean" by then, but only by continuing to use nuclear, which although relatively low carbon is not clean. The big problem is transport. Even if they managed to get all cars/vans etc running on electric, (very ambitious) there's still HGV/shipping/aviation/railways. There are some relatively quick fixes, one "no brainer" which to the best of my knowledge isn't even in consideration, is using canals to transport non perishables. But there is very little joined up thinking and real long term planning happening. Said it before but a major problem is the 5 year government, it discourages the above and encourages parties to focus on retaining or regaining power. If we're to have any chance they the political parties need to properly work together long term.

I'm confident it'll be great where and when it matters, i.e. between midnight and 6am in Arcadia/Silver Hayes/Block 9/The Common

Am currently using a pipe (old school), but investigating vapes. Anyway, still going strong

What else did you expect, as soon as I saw the proposals I knew it was a no go. He'll not stop until Gaza is cleared.

American female star... Come on Glastonbury, get me to The Pyramid for a headliner, it's been a while

Surely we're not seriously talking about Shania Twain as a Pyramid headliner? I mean really Is it too soon for the "Excuse me, what is this sh*t" GIF again

No It was one of the big electronic acts, struggling to remember

That's nothing One year an old mate of mine (now sadly deceased) took a ford Transit to the Other Stage (probably NME in those days)

Yea but look at the amount of space

Exactly!

I'm not talking size or popularity, just suitability

Janelle Monae before The National????

No idea about Bearded or latitude, but BD is effectively a 4 day event (punters are allowed in on Thursday), so stewards will be needed on the Thursday and Monday.

We really need to tell them to "do one", apply a serious and meaningful "windfall tax" on their obscene profits and get on with covering the country with wind turbines.

Because it will annoy the fossil fuel lobby and the NIMBYs

Did the Monday shift one year at Shambala after about 2 hours sleep and then drove 200 miles.

Met him a long time ago in a nightclub in Hulme in Manchester, back at the height of the On U Sound days

What's all this nonsense with Justice on that stage with the worst name ever? Going to force me into Babylon?
