Radical Green Policy Impacts Farmers

High-energy Civilisation on Pre-industrial Technologies

Author and environmental policy expert Michael Shellenberger says we can’t power a “high-energy civilisation on pre-industrial technologies”.
 
“It sounds so obvious when you say it,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
 
“Nobody knows more about farming than farmers and yet you’ve got these bureaucrats telling them they’ve got to radically reduce the amount of fertiliser they use.”
 
Mr Shellenberger said radical green policies are being rebelled against in parts of the world.
 
“We’re seeing a really lovely rebellion – I hope it continues.”
