according to latest figures, the 280ft generator towering over the M4 worked at just 15 per cent of its capacity last year, the cost of running the generator? well to produce £100,000 worth of electricity it cost taxpayers £130,000, a spokesman for the company that owns the generator said, 'the turbine is designed to power the business park and has been doing a good job, they are happy with it and we are happy with it.’ you bet you as an owner are happy with it! what other company could produce something that the tax payer has to keep afloat?
since it was switched on in 2005, it has been given £600,000 in public subsidies while working at an average of just 17 per cent of its capacity, naturally the positioning is blamed, Lee Moroney, of the Renewable Energy Foundation, said: ‘If the goal is to reduce greenhouse gases then you should put wind turbines in the most efficient sites, rather than have a scatter gun approach, if the least efficient turbines are getting £130,000 of subsidy, then the owners of the most productive turbines must be coining it in.’ yes like one of Britain’s most effective wind farms that is in Burradale in the Shetlands, bringing in £345,000 in public subsidy! the sad news is that the site in Reading is visited by over 200,000 school children a year, just think of the lies that must be spread there about how renewable energy works!
worst still our masters in Brussels have told us that over the next nine years we have got to build another 10,000 of these money consuming monsters on top of the 3,000 we are already paying for to meet EU climate change targets, also I wonder how much the turbine featured cost in the first place? or was that cost written off for this exercise?
