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.
Once a Communist, always a Communist... please log in to view this image Son of a Marxist, he was an intern in Tony Benn’s House of Commons office. When he was Labour leader in the General Election of 2015, he got his butt kicked by wet David Cameron who was able to end the coalition with the weak Liberal Democrats. Miliband was replaced by lifetime loser Jeremy Corbyn, who lost in 2017 to Theresa May and got his butt kicked by buffoon Boris Johnson in 2019. Now as Secretary of State for Energy and Net Zero, he promised us “National Energy Security”. Hong Kong based Chinese company CK Infrastructure Holdings owns: UK Power Networks (serves 8.3m homes in the South East) Northern Gas Networks (serves 9m homes in the North) Wales and West Gas Networks (serves 2.5m homes in Wales and the South West) Seabank Power (Power station near Bristol) Phoenix Energy (Northern Ireland gas network) UU Solar (70 renewable projects) After Trump pulled the plug on an offshore wind farm off the US East coast, shares in Danish/Norwegian wind farm operator Ørsted cratered by more than a third. So they needed a bailout and got 6bn Danish kroner (nearly £700m) from Equinor, the oil company half owned by the Norwegian government. They still want more funding. In the meantime it continues to build Hornsea Three wind farm in the North Sea and they did not bid in Allocation Round 7 for any of Miliband’s latest round of subsidies. So we are importing gas from Norway rather than get our own from the North Sea, paying subsidy to Scandinavian countries to build wind farms, buying wind turbines and solar panels from China; and allowing China to profit from our domestic energy infrastructure. Just which nation are we actually relying upon for our Energy Security? It is not this one.
More chance of there being a Santa Claus then there is of human-made climate change. The arrogance and stupidity of people who believe this is up there with the Incas throwing kids to their deaths as a sacrifice to appease the Weather God when there had been a drought. Absolute ****ing idiots. Mad how the ****s with no kids, who want to flood the country with ****-hating, women-beating, benefit scrounging, third worlders, think Rachel from accounts is doing great as the UK is hit with eye-watering borrowing costs, also took the untested covid jabs which have since been restricted and/or banned. ****ing tardy bastards.
Case in point... How many shots did you take? And how many Thursdays in a row were you standing on your doorstep with your wooden spoon and Teflon clad pot?
I trust science, I take medical advice and warnings from experts seriously. What are your qualifications?
Throughout history science has been proved wrong time and again. At and it will always be the case as humanoids are arrogant and know **** all. "Trust The Science"
The Science told us that lockdowns were necessary, that masking would reduce the spread and the the vaccine was safe and effective and would cut transmission and death 100%. Now the vaccines are being banned. Give your head a wobble, ffs. My qualification is something that ******s like you just can't fathom. I suffer from common sense, and I quite literally have chosen to take responsibility for me and my families well-being. Being a soft, childless nonce, who immerses themselves in virtual reality, renders many of your opinions moot. Are you one of the homosexual vegans who think cow farts cause climate change but eat highly processed foods and drinks? A simple yes or no would satiate.
