The BBC reports:
Now consider this. These same Green energy campaigners are NOT blocking the subsidy that is provided to Wind Farms nor are they blocking the subsidy provided to Solar Panel installations. This is in spite of the fact that both of these supposedly green policies are in fact not 'green'.
Both of these energy forms require that back-up generating capacity is available and online ALL THE TIME because of the intermittent and therefore unreliable nature of the energy that they produce. i.e. you have to have a coal, gas, oil or nuclear powered station churning out electricity because wind might not blow or it is night-time!
Hypocrisy is a word that immediately springs to mind when considering the energy 'policy' of the Greens.
Chris Huhne and the climate change acolytes at the DECC are pushing an agenda that will push-up home energy costs while really doing next to nothing to actually reduce our fossil fuel dependency. They know that wind turbines operate, at best, at less than 30% of capacity
The UK Green Party Manifesto at the last election (2010) had as a stated policy:
I think that when they say we, they actually mean ALL of us. You have been warned!
Incidentally, if you google Energy Fair, there doesn't seem to be such an organisation!?!? So who is it that is working with a firm of German lawyers?
Green energy campaigners are attempting to block new nuclear power stations in the UK by complaining to the European Commission that government plans contravene EU competition regulations.
They say financial rules for nuclear operators include subsidies that have not been approved by the commission.
These include capping of liability for accidents, which they say at least halves the cost of nuclear electricity.
The government says it is confident that policies do not provide subsidies.
The complaint, by the Energy Fair group, also says that the UK's carbon floor price and feed-in tarriffs amount to state aid for the nuclear industry.

Just been directed to yuor website re Fred Goodwin.
ReplyDeleteThought that I would read some of your other posts and in your one about Green Hypocrisy I notice that your Google did not find Energy Fair. Mine did - website is energyfair.org.uk.
