I Hate To Say 'I told You So',

but wind farms as I have always predicted will come to haunt every home in the UK,


Professor Gordon Hughes, who has produced a study on how wind energy will hit energy costs, has predicted a stark warning for every home in Great Britain, but first his credentials, professor Hughes is one of the UK's leading energy economists and works at the prestigious University of Edinburgh, He was also a senior adviser on energy and environmental policy at the World Bank, so I guess he knows a thing or two, in his stark warning, (remember the mantra of wind farms is to bring Britain's greenhouse gas emissions down), but he believes for all the huge investment in wind farms Britain's greenhouse gas emissions may not even fall!


worse still after not achieving their first goal by 2020 average electricity bills will be around 58 per cent higher - a £320 increase - just because of the flood of wind turbines planned for Britain's coastlines, fields and seas, 'the key problems with current policies for wind power are simple,' he said, 'unless the current Government scales back its commitment to wind power very substantially, its policy will be worse than a mistake, it will be a blunder, the average household electricity bill would increase from £528 per year at 2010 prices to a range from £730 to £840 in 2020,' the report has been published by former Chancellor Lord Lawson's Global Warming Policy Foundation,


backing up Professor Gordon Hughes, Professor Ian Fells, who is Professor of Energy Conversion at Newcastle University and an adviser at the House of Commons and Lords, also said that wind farms are too costly, instead he claims that combined gas cycle plants could produce the same amount of green energy for £13billion – nearly 10 times cheaper than wind power, 'wind energy is the most expensive way of generating renewable electricity,' he said, 'it will also cost jobs, We are already seeing some industrial firms packing up and moving abroad, the increasing price of energy is going to be the next big political problem,'


but here is the real problem with tree huggers and greenies spending your money, it is making them too much money so they and their cronies with their snouts in the trough will never stop gouging for their cash rewards, just a pity we can not be more like America with Hawaii's wind farm project
