EDF Energy and
Climate Change
Below are
extracts of letters between the energy supplier EDF Energy and Peter Shullot
about climate change. The letters in full are at the bottom of the page. This is
one of 65 sets of letters so you can find out what your supermarket, energy
supplier and car manufacturer, and oil companies, airlines, house builders and
other companies really think about climate change. The name Peter Shullot
is made up – it is an anagram of The Polluters.
To Vincent de Rivaz,
Chief Executive –
I’ve built up my own empire as well to become a self-made IT millionaire selling
computers to people with programs that they never knew they needed, and will
probably never open. My son Wayne calls it wasteful but I like to think of it as
successful marketing.
But enough about me. I know that if I had the same pressures on me as you have
then I wouldn’t be able to cope. Of course I’m talking about climate change. The
“environmentalists” have got this by the horns and are running with it. Don’t
they know it’s all a fabrication based on dodgy computer graphs and political
rhetoric?
Let’s look at the facts. Climate change is due to the weather and geology. When
Krakatoa erupted in 1883 it messed up the weather for years. So that wasn’t your
fault. When it erupted in the 13th century it triggered the start of
the Black Death which wiped out half the population of Europe. That can’t be
pinned on you either. Or the Great Freeze of 1684 that froze the Thames. The
winter of 1947 when it snowed every day for two months. The floods that preceded
Noah’s Ark when it rained a lot. So you’re off the hook for those as well.
