Germany – Green Subsidies Cause Fuel Poverty
Germany 600,000 households have had their power cut off for being unable to pay their energy bills
Germany is counting the cost of its desire to be Green, the €100 billion wasted on solar, the post Fukushima hysteria where for no good reason, but Green hysteria, Germany shutdown their nuclear power stations only to have to bring them back on-line to meet the demand for energy caused by the very cold winter this year.
The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) have produced a report by Dr Guenter Keil warning of the impending doom to the German economy from the money pit of Green renewable energy.
A German consumer watchdog has found that because of the sudden increases in energy bills caused by the Green taxation that solar and wind need to survive, fuel poverty and fuel debt are becoming serious social issues: Read the rest of this entry
The Next Green Stupidity – Tidal Power
Tidal Turbine effectively an underwater wind turbine and like wind power it requires huge Green taxation to exist and produces expensive electricty
The Commons’ Energy and Climate Change Committee (ECC) have just released a report on Marine Renewables which claims, wait for it, that Britain could become a leading exporter of tidal power and expertise if billions in Green taxation are used to support yet another economically unviable Green energy source folly.
Tidal Power comes in 3 forms:
Tidal Fences which are a continuous line of underwater tidal current turbines, installed in a way which forces as much flow to go through the turbines as possible.
Barrage Tidal Plants these are the most common form, using narrow water channels with gates and turbines, opening the gates causes water to flow which in turn spins the turbines.
Tidal Turbines which work like an underwater wind turbine using the tides to turn the turbine. Read the rest of this entry
More Green Failure And Lies In Europe
The truth about the real cost of Green taxation for wind and solar on Britain’s energy bills is out, Green subsidy adds 15% to electricity bills.
The Global Trade War over the EU’s Green flying tax took a step closer to reality this week, and out of the blue Germany is now cutting subsidies earlier than planned for solar; within 5 years the Green taxation for solar will be no more.
The cost of Green subsidy on Britain’s energy bills has been hotly debated with the Greens maintaining that the cost of subsidy is only £20 per year: Read the rest of this entry
Hurricane Blows Through The US Wind Industry
The tax credit extension for US wind power subsidy has been dropped and a new report says that half of US off shore wind turbines would be destroyed in a hurricane
The global trend in cutting the tax payer funded Green subsidies that allow wind and solar to exist, has arrived in the United States.
In the US wind farms have been subsidised since 1992 by the Wind Production Tax Credit (PTC), which was usually extended for 1 – 2 year periods; in 2009 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act extended subsidy for wind power until the end of 2012.
An extension of the PTC, the subsidy that allowed wind to be competitive with other forms of energy, has been left out of a payroll tax cut extension currently making its way through the US House of Representatives, without a change of policy wind subsidy ends in 2012.
The Americans have subsidised wind power for 20 years, and yes, you guessed right without Green taxation the US wind industry is dead. Read the rest of this entry
Britain – 15 Wind Farm Owners Get £850 Million In Green Subsidy Every Year
Wind Turbine at Bogan Green farm, brought to the ground by a controlled collapse after suffering mechanical failure yet again
The wind farm scam has proved a nice earner if you are one of the big energy companies, a foreign company that has moved into wind power or a rich landowner who has the space and capital to hoover up the Green taxation and build your very own wind farm cash cow.
Wind farms are that most unique of endlessly laying Golden geese, they pay well over the odds for the 20% of the time they actually generate electricity and then they pay off again when there is no demand for their erratic power supply.
As usual it is the over taxed population of Britain that are paying for the Green dream: Read the rest of this entry
The Global Myth Of Green Jobs
The wishful thinking of Green jobs creation, here the results of Obamas green jobs plan
One of the frequently repeated mantras of the warming alarmists is that Green energy creates a thriving Green economy and Green jobs, the global evidence tells a different story, but then the facts and warming alarmism have never been the best of friends.
A report by the US House of Representatives in September last year concluded that the so called Green jobs revolution had failed globally and there were no such things as long term Green jobs.
Spain was an early player in Green energy and has paid a heavy price for believing in the Green Dream, 2.2 jobs killed in conventional industries, for each Green job created.
In the US Barry Obama had high hopes for Green jobs: Read the rest of this entry
National Trust – “The Public Menace Of Wind Farms”
The National Trust is now "deeply sceptical" of wind power
The National Trust has joined the rebellion against the menace of bird choppers, the symbol of Green renewable energy is deeply hated for a whole range of reasons, from despoiling the countryside to the huge amounts of Green taxation and increases to the energy bills via Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROC), wind turbines cause.
Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore had this to say “The industry is a destroyer of wealth and negative to the economy”, Moore now refers to himself as a “sensible environmentalist“. Read the rest of this entry
Wind Farms Will Wipeout The California Condor
There are just 400 California Condors, but its OK if they are wiped out by Green renewable energy, more breathtaking Green hypocrisy
Wind turbines are not called bird choppers for nothing, they indiscriminately kill birds and bats between 6 – 18 million a year in Spain alone.
The Golden Eagle is being decimated and could well be extinct, still with the usual breathtaking hypocrisy that so typifies the Green Environmentalists across the world, Golden Eagles are expendable, just so much collateral damage in a brave new Green world.
In both the US and Britain Green ecofacists and the NGOs that are supposed to be about protecting birds brazenly say its OK to kill birds to meet CO2 targets, Green energy targets and to appease Gaia.
Save the Eagles International who produced the report on the slaughter of birds by Spanish wind farms has just issued a biodiversity warning for the remaining 400 California Condors: Read the rest of this entry
Church Of Climatology Collapses In Germany
The Church of Climatology just keeps getting smaller, opinion polls show people are no longer convinced, the lack of warming since 1998, the complete non event of all Green doomsday scenarios where one apocalypse was supposed to follow another, and all by 2012 have simply not happened and the ever increasing energy bills due to Green taxation for the not fit for purpose renewables, have all taken their toll.
Slowly but surely senior respected figures in the environmental movement are attempting to regroup with Climate Change denial, people like Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore who had this to say about the NGO he helped start ”The organization should at least base its positions on science“.
In Germany Fritz Vahrenholt has long been Green, yet like Moore, Vahrenholt has major reservations about the climate science of the IPCC and the impact on democracy that Climate Religion has.
Dr Vahrenholt has had enough of the junk science and political spin: Read the rest of this entry
Nick Clegg & Ed Davey; Dumb And Dumber
Nick Clegg and Ed Davey still pushing the same tired Green lies about jobs, prosperity and affordable energy
The departure of Chris Huhne was a golden opportunity for the Coalition Government to back away from the economic fiasco that is Green renewable energy, instead the Lib Dem segment is pursuing Green business as usual, Green energy and jobs have killed economies in other parts of the world, specifically Spain and California, the German economy is reeling from the effects of Green taxation to support solar and wind, but dont worry it will be different in Britain, according to Clegg and Davey.
Ed Davey is already proving to be a bigger idiot than Chris Huhne, Huhne for all his many faults was at least his own man, Davey is more reminiscent of a glove puppet.
Clegg on his first public outing with Davey had this to say: Read the rest of this entry
