Even Jo Cox at Manx gas backtracked on their carbon offsetting nonsense. I expect an FOI into the contract award and cost will be submitted fairly quickly The article is carefully written. Why on earth would the company offset the TT carbons if it wasn't being paid to do so? Total waste of money. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Perhaps this piece of virtue signalling has been funded out of the £42M green fund? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I really hope not, this is what bugs me about the 42 million it does not have any specific funding role, it could be used for all number of stupid purposes in fact I would wager that there is no longer 42 million in the pot. We all know how quickly money can be spent, a bit here, small purchase there an so on and when you add up what you have spent it is surprising to say the least I do hope it does not get chipped away at until it is no more and nothing concrete to show for it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtleish Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 After the doi shut the mountain for 6 weeks, today they have started a new road at the bungalow, to give victory caff access during racing. Rush job with vehicles crossing tram lines without lights ect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a total load of bollocks. They're only offsetting the fuel used while racing - what about the vans, support vehicles? What about offsetting fuel used by visitors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
