Now Here's A Thing,

Lord Lawson agrees with me!

I have always said it, wind farms are a total waste of time, money and energy, Lord Lawson chairman of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, said: ‘[Wind farms are] absolutely pointless, extremely damaging both for the British economy and for British consumers', it turns out that of the 3,419 turbines, no fewer than 2,276 are either fully or partly owned by companies which are based abroad, why are so many foreign owned? because we give massive grants to companies that build the farms in the UK,

an investigation found that one Danish company owns or part-owns three offshore farms which receive almost £100million a year in subsidies from British consumers, firms from Japan, the U.S., Norway, Sweden, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany also own British wind farms, from next year, £523million in subsidies will go to foreign companies, according to the Renewable Energy Foundation think tank, the amount will soar in the next decade as the Government tries to meet carbon-reduction targets,


the good news for the wind farm owners is that they will be paid even if they do not work, £2.6million was handed to 11 wind farm companies last week to stop generating electricity, the National Grid says if the network cannot cope with a surge in production, some firms must stop operating and are compensated, it can not just be me thinking this but why is Great Britain building more of these financially crippling machines?

but some in Britain do make a good case for more of these machines, take the case of the Prime Minister’s father-in-law, Sir Reginald Sheffield, the father of Samantha Cameron, by his own estimate, he already receives almost £350,000 a year for the eight turbines at Bagmoor, which was constructed in 2009, that means he is earning nearly £1,000 every single day on the back of the turbines, no wonder he wants planning permission to build seven more 400ft tall wind-turbines to be erected at Flixborough Grange, nice little earner!



Dr Lee Moroney, of the Renewable Energy Foundation, said: ‘target-driven and generously subsidised growth in the renewables sector was always likely to attract international investors seeking rapid returns and a prompt exit, the real concern is that, having made handsome profits from UK bill-payers, they will move on leaving the UK with subprime or distressed assets', I guess that means the UK consumer still picks up the bill!
