The Pitcairn Island Wind Farm Fiasco
Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific where the mutineers from the Bounty settled
This is a classic case of government wasting tax payers money in an irresponsible way, all in the name of the International Aid Budget which currently stands at 0.7% of Britain’s GDP, and being Green.
Pitcairn Island is where the crew of HMAV Bounty settled, after casting the Captain of the Bounty, William Bligh adrift, the story has been immortalized in several Hollywood movies over the years so most people have some knowledge of the story.
The mutineers led by Fletcher Christian consisted of 8 British sailors, 6 Tahitian men, 11 Tahitian women, and 1 baby landed on Pitcairn in 1798 and remained there undiscovered until the US sealing ship Topaz visited the island in 1808. The people who landed in 1798 are the ancestors of today’s Pitcairn Islanders.
History is not sure what fate held became of Fletcher Christian, he is alleged to have been brutally murdered on the island, other stories say that Christian made it back to England, though the logistics of doing this were nearly impossible at the time, for example today to travel to Pitcairn Island means flying to New Zealand, then taking 2 more flights and finally a 32 hour boat trip to reach the island, this place really does put the R in remote.
Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory, a throw back to the days of the Empire, which means it receives priority foreign aid from the Foreign Aid budget, which is currently £43000 per islander. Estimates of the island population vary from 44 to 67, with 55 being the most popular, which is where the figure of £43000 comes from, considerably more than the average wage of £25000 in Britain.
On top of all the foreign aid money flowing in, the geniuses at the Department for International Development (DfID) decided that it was time for Green energy on Pitcairn Island and that a wind farm should be built: Read the rest of this entry
The Cost Of Green Energy Topples The Government In Bulgaria
The citizens of Europe’s poorest country, Bulgaria, take to the streets to protest the cost of Green Energy and Poverty
There is a lesson to learned from events last month in Europe’s poorest country, Bulgaria, well actually there are 2 lessons to be learned, both unfortunately need to be learned by politicians in the rest of Europe, or the world when it comes to it.
The first lesson is that people will not put up with ever increasing electricity bills in the name of saving the planet while a few fat cats and crony capitalists cream off huge profits from Green subsidies on ordinary people’s and businesses energy bills, the second lesson is that Green intermittent renewable energy wreaks havoc on electrical grids, ultimately leading to brown outs and black outs as the grid cannot cope with the sudden Green energy spikes.
History shows that even a short period of rolling black outs will bring down a Government, even in a country like Britain, when in 1974 then Prime Minister Edward Heath took on the miners, with the resulting Three Day Week of rolling power cuts. Heath called an election in February 1974 when the Three Day Week was at its height, and effectively lost the election as he could not form a working majority for Government.
On February 20th this year protests at the cost of Green energy and the resulting increased poverty toppled the government of Boyko Borissov: Read the rest of this entry
Most British Wind Farms Are Net CO2 Emitters
Large British wind farms will actually release as much carbon dioxide as fossil fuel power plants, conclusions of a new study conducted by researchers from Aberdeen University
Wind farms are another of the Greens zero CO2 mirages, naturally the emissions produced during the manufacture of the turbine are ignored, as are the emissions of the fossil fueled coal or gas power station that has to be on standby for when the intermittency problem happens.
A new study by researchers from Aberdeen University has uncovered yet another problem with CO2 emissions and wind farms, this time it is the land that wind farms are built upon that is the source of massive amounts of CO2 being released.
Around of 50% of English onshore wind farms are built on peat bogs or peat based land, in Scotland the total is even higher at 66%: Read the rest of this entry
Sustainable Porridge – The Chris Huhne Story
Former Liberal Democrat Climate Change Secretary and common criminal Christopher Murray Paul-Huhne arrives at his new home for the next few months, Wandsworth jail
Day 1 of captivity got off to a bad start for disgraced former Liberal Democrat Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne when a prison warder with a great sense of humor called Huhne to breakfast with a shout of “Order Order” over the prison Tannoy system, reminding Huhne of his days as a Cabinet Minister and Member of Parliament.
The warder then continued with “The right honourable member for Wandsworth North – down to the office,“, Huhne then left his cell to collect his meal while the other prisoners roared with laughter.
After breakfast Huhne’s day continued to go to hell in a handcart with his fellow convicts bullying and humiliating him, and, having found out that Huhne is a millionaire, they started badgering him for money.
All this was too much for Huhne who scuttled off to see the Governor of the prison where he asked to be moved to the wing where vulnerable prisoners are housed, for vulnerable prisoners read sex offenders, pedophiles and former police officers, the real low life scum of the prison system that even other criminals find offensive.
The problems with his fellow housemates are not Huhne’s only worries: Read the rest of this entry
Chris Huhne Disgraced Liberal Democrat Climate Change Secretary Goes To Jail
December 2011 Liberal Democrat Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne planned to force 32000 more monuments to Green stupidity on Britain, today Huhne starts an 8 month jail sentence.
The man at the heart of forcing the Green Agenda on Britain, is today in prison starting an 8 month jail sentence for the crime of Perverting the Course of Justice.
The fall of Liberal Democrat Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne has been at the speed of sound, this is one occasion when the well worn expression “crashed and burned” really does mean burnt twisted wreckage, in this case Huhne’s now non existent political career, his reputation, his credibility and his relationship with his children.
Prior to suddenly pleading guilty just before his trial was due to start Huhne continually lied about being guilty, he used every trick in the book to keep the case out of court and gag any reporting of the proceedings, which makes Huhne’s mea culpa moment on Channel 4 News tonight look all the more cynical, with Huhne already having an eye on his post prison career moves.
Huhne’s ex-wife Vicky Pryce was also sentenced today, she too received an 8 month prison sentence for Perverting the Course of Justice: Read the rest of this entry
Green Fringe Minority Stage Climate Week 2013
Climate Week a chance for warming alarmists to indulge in Green tokenism and gesture politics
It is Climate Week in Britain where 500000 people will attend 3000 events in support of the Anthropogenic Global Warming scam, or to put it more accurately the public support for action on controlling the climate committing economic suicide is so overwhelming each event attracts an average of just 166 people.
The mission of Climate Week is the usual mix of Green renewable energy can meet all of Britain’s energy needs, and if we lead the way with Green gesture politics then the rest of the world, who to date have walked away from this idea, will suddenly get a massive change of heart and follow our example.
One of the objectives of Climate Week is to reinstate an ambitious, for that read economically disastrous, power sector decarbonisation target for 2030 that some how vanished at the end of 2012, the re-introduction of this target is being actively supported by the Head of the Climate Change Committee crony capitalist and rent seeker Tim Yeo and Labour MP Barry Gardiner.

I Love The Smell Of Green Apocalypse In The Morning
I love the smell of Green Apocalypse in the morning, it smells like subsidy
The Green regression to 2008 continues, by winding back the clock they possibly hope to continue business as usual with a CO2 fearing world hanging on their every word, how it used to be, before Climategate and COP15 Copenhagen delivered the mortal blow to the Anthropogenic Global Warming scam.
In those heady days of 2008, climate fear stories were relentlessly churned out, and faithfully reported by a Liberal biased MSM that could not wait to print stories about the coming environmental Apocalypse, the same stories that are now coming back to haunt the Green propagandists and their publicity machines.
All the fear stories had a theme, apart from fear that is. sinking Pacific islands, sea level rising several gazillion feet, wall to wall dead Polar Bears, mass species extinction and the list of things that our children would not know spanned everything from snow to Madagascan fruit bats.
As the man-made climate change scam has continued its lingering death and global fear of CO2 has hit a 20 year low, so the warming alarmists have returned to the old formula of Green environmental holocaust to try breathe new life into their political agenda. Read the rest of this entry
Solar Panels Are Full Of Carcinogens
Solar Panel manufacture like wind turbines produces large amounts of heavy metal pollution
Wind and Solar, the flagship renewable energy icons of the warming alarmists, crony capitalists and rent seekers sold, as solving all the worlds energy needs in a clean Green way.
Renewables are neither clean nor Green, the use of heavy metals in their manufacture make this another Green lie, the wind turbine lie was hidden half a world a way in China, where the town of Batou is surrounded by a huge lagoon of toxic chemicals from the manufacture of magnets for wind turbines.
The truth about the use of cadmium and other toxic chemicals in the manufacture of solar panels has now floated to the surface in the that most carcinogen obsessed of countries, the United States.
In the wake of yet another Obama funded clean-tech disaster like Solyndra a solar panel manufacturer in Colorado has gone bankrupt: Read the rest of this entry
EDF Energy, NoDashForGas & The Problem With Liberal DNA
NoDashForGas braying about having shutdown a power station, so much for peaceful protest, this is industrial sabotage.
The decision by EDF Energy to sue the 21 NoDashForGas activists over their occupation of the power station at West Burton has caused unprecedented outrage in the Green Liberal socialist realm.
The straw man argument put forward by the environmentalists is that this was a peaceful protest that did nothing wrong and that EDF are nothing more than a bunch of fossil fuel corporate Nazis.
A peaceful law abiding protest would have been protestors at the gates with their placards, not aggravated trespass and shutting down what they call a dirty fossil fuel power station for 40 hours, this is industrial sabotage, willful disruption of a company’s business, or what the website EarthFirst! refers to as Monkeywrenching: Read the rest of this entry
EDF Energy To Sue Environmentalists Over Power Station Sit-in
Green protestors from the group No Dash For Gas closed the West Burton power station for 8 days in November 2012.
Last November 21 members of the No Dash For Gas sect of the Church of Climatology organized a sit-in at the West Burton power station in Nottinghamshire, which caused the power station to shut down for 8 days.
The Guardian proclaimed them Green heroes, and posted the usual fawning and sycophantic articles that are reserved only for noble Green activists, in fact today the Guardian has a video produced by No Dash For Gas which shows how to occupy a power station.
It is not easy being Green as the saying goes, it can also be very expensive being Green, as most energy bill payers now know from the real cost of Green renewable energy on their bills.
It is however about to get eye wateringly expensive to be Green if you occupy power stations: Read the rest of this entry
