Ecology: the greens are coming

Last year, I post a blog item on Peak Oil and the UKs First Green MP:

With the economic crisis, our attention has been temporarily slipped from our attention (although this fundamental problem is still their even if it will take us long to reach their).

Fortunately for the Green Party it has been another good year, and following the recent euro elections, even the mainstream newspapers are talking about the UKs First Green MP:

the up-to-date electoral micro-statistics coming out of the three parliamentary constituencies of Brighton show the Greens have the support of 31% of the voters, leaving the second-placed Tories trailing on 22%. In the Brighton Pavilion seat which is being fought by Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, that Green vote is reckoned to be considerably larger.

If Lucas becomes the first-ever Green Party MP, it will represent not just a political curiosity but could be a catalyst for the rearmament of the alternative energy lobby.
