Miliband forced to pay solar farms to switch off Anybody had their £300 off their energy bill yet? According to this article, brain dead Ed has had to pay five solar farms £102,500 to stop supplying energy because they are overloading the system. Add to that the money paid to wind farms to switch off and you might be able to figure out why we have the most expensive energy in Europe. No wonder tw*ts like Dale Vince are always spouting about how great Renewables are when they are millionaires thanks to taxpayer and energy bill payer subsidy. No sign of any return for the £22bn that Ed has wasted on energy storage projects. Would it not have made sense to build the National Grid infrastructure to carry the energy around the country before splashing billions on fantasy projects that will never deliver? Surely that would be a better use of the £22bn that is going onto your energy bills. According to the Renewable Energy Foundation, “The UK has been subsidising renewables since 2002 and has spent over £200bn of bill payers’ cash – equivalent to nearly £8,000 per household. Renewable developers should be able to stand on their own feet by now but they are still begging for more subsidies and special treatment like constraint payments. It’s a key reason why the UK has some of the world’s highest energy prices. It’s time for this to stop before the burden on households and businesses does irreparable harm.” Ed is just about to throw away £28m on carbon capture projects in Derbyshire, money that is coming from the government’s new joke National Wealth Fund. How long until that money has gone and they want a bailout?

Clearly, as usual, you have not been paying attention. A couple of pages back, here, I explained how the taxpayer subsidises the fossil fuel industry as the companies drilling for oil and gas can write off the cleanup costs of decommissioned sites against their taxes. The irony is that the effective subsidy by the taxpayer means that the oil and gas explorers/producers make a profit which is then taxed at 78% because windfall taxes have been charged (the Energy Profits Levy raised to 38% by Rachel from Accounts).
If he hooked up his voice to the national grid, there wouldn't be an argument anymore. Change the word game one letter at a time. See how fast you can do it. Hull ....... Dull
See, just like Dull, you made the mistake of thinking people pay attention to your posts. They're usually incredibly boring.
Clearly you are as brain dead as I first thought. Anything longer than a text message is a struggle for you; however, you responded to a post that was five paragraphs long. You asked a question to which an answer was already available but that was ‘incredibly boring’. You are incapable of reasoned debate. I wonder why you bother to post on here at all since you have the attention span of a gnat and nothing worthwhile to contribute. Is pompey your mother and your father an unknown drunken sailor that had a mishap?
David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost. “We have failed to shift the narrative and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems" A bit rich moaning about fossil fuels and the damage to the environment when he is responsible for all those motorbikes.
