Totally agree. One must constantly keep in mind the IQ level of the ‘average’ Labour supporter.

“George” – prosit tassew. You’re a BRILLIANT advert for your party, sorry I mean movement of moderates and progressives.

I commend you for your efforts to persuade the other half of the nation just how much Labour has really changed under Muscat (and Sant before him).

Regardless of financials, or technology, or timeframes, I’m damned if I’m going to hand over my country to ic-Caqnu.

That’s the point aJS.

I would say that the energy proposals are Labour’s trump card, not the sole ones. Unfortunately, and as a matter of fact, Labour is presenting very little else – at least to-date – for the intelligent elector to judge them by.

Malta Taghna Lkoll taf xi tfisser George?

@TZC – That is exactly the point; Labour have been selling this idea that they WILL reduce the electricity bills as soon as they are in power that that they have painted themselves into a corner and the first academic (read ‘desk top) solution is adopted without any serious study.

Nobody is disputing that such gas power stations work – there are thousands of them all over, or that Private Public Partnerships do not work – it has worked very well in Malta with old peoples’ homes.

But the details of the PL proposal are so flawed as to be laughable, but still the PN needs to spell them out loud and clear because gullible people are not necessarily the uneducated or morons only; we have seen these in MHRA, MEA and MDA statements.

Dan bis-serjeta?

[Daphne – Yes. I get this sort of thing all the time. See my latest post. The Labour Party doesn’t understand – or maybe it does, only too well – that many of its supporters are by definition not of normal psychology or attitudes, and that by making individuals an object of hatred, they are really asking for trouble. But then maybe trouble is what they actually want.]

This is terrifying, and another reason why Liquid Natural Gas should not be stored on land in the two massive tanks the PL proposes, and why the gas pipe-line is the only alternative.

Labour insists on ignoring this just because it is in the PN’s energy plan – what low-brow politics.
