Wind Farms – No Green Jobs For Britain
Foreign companies building wind farms provide negligible work for Britons
To justify the billions being spent on wind farms the Greens are forever telling the population that renewables will prove not only an energy revolution, but also an economic revolution with hundreds of thousands of long lasting Green jobs.
The actual global reality is that there is no such thing as a lasting Green job, the job security provided by wind and solar is about as reliable as their power generation.
Out of the £850 million paid in Green subsidy to the major wind farm operators in 2011, over £700 million flowed out of Britain and straight into the bank accounts of foreign companies; this sum is set to rise as more and more foreign wind farms come on stream.
The lack of lasting Green jobs has now become so obvious, that even the wind farm groupies at the Guardian have noticed it: Read the rest of this entry
British Wind Farms Political Will Falters
British government quietly shelves plans for more wind farms because of mounting public and political anger over the costs of the Green taxation that wind power needs to survive.
The public anger over the ever rising cost of energy bills due to the Green taxation costs of wind and solar is at last being heard.
At the beginning of February 101 Tory MP’s and some MPs from other political parties wrote to Prime Minster David Cameron complaining about the 15% Green taxation that wind power adds to energy bills.
The departure of Chris Huhne was always going to spell the end of the Greenest Government ever, and while Cameron will never admit that, he like many other politicians was conned by the warming alarmists, the likely political course will be to sweep things quietly under the carpet and move on.

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

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
