TOO LATE FOR RENEWABLES
What hope has Britain got in switching energy production to renewables when one man and his Conservative dog can scupper a planning application to erect a wind turbine because it would spoil his view; too much wind energy overloads the National Grid anyway and the Government pulls the rug from under PV installers feet because the pay back was attracting too much interest?
Although Wokingham Borough Council refused planning on the Rushey Mead turbines on purely ‘political’ grounds and still pretends it’s a green authority, in truth, the Green Park turbine is so unproductive it attracts £30,000 more in subsidies per annum than it earns from electricity generation (there’s a clue in the names Thames ‘Valley’).
In 2011 almost £10 million was paid to turbine operators to not produce electricity – doesn’t that say everything you need to know about Britain’s joined up thinking on renewable energy? i.e. it isn’t.
To say I’ve changed my mind on wind power would be an understatement. Forget wind, forget solar and forget wave – nuclear power yes please – we’ve run out of time!

A couple of wrinklies have won £25 Million on the Euro Lottery saying that it's not going to change their lives.
Silly bastards, make them give it back.
2080
Rainy winters snug by the fire, sunny hot summers like Spain growing olives, grapes, lemons and limes; this is climate change - don't listen to them - they're talking bollocks.

Harman tells reporters: Like every sturdy knocker, this Country needs a knob and Gordon's the best man for the job.
WELL DONE PIERRE
A big thank you to Pierre, Jean Paul, Luc and Marco, the four Froggie fishermen for starving Britain of goods over the last few days - that's not 'French' at all is it?
