I caught a rather interesting debate on BBC Today @ 7.50am this morning concerning that BBC favourite, Windfarms!
“This week one of the world’s biggest wind turbine manufacturers announced it was cutting 3,000 jobs around the world. Chairman of the UK’s independent Committee on Climate Change Lord Deben and Dr John Constable, Chairman of the Renewable Energy Foundation, discuss the matter.”
If you get a chance, give it a listen and contrast the treatment afforded to Dr Constable to that given to Lord Deben. (The former John Selwyn Gummer, natch). Gummer gets to insert his eco-alarmism at several points without interruption or challenge whereas Constable is clearly attacked for DARING to suggest that we should NOT be subsidising these whirling grotesqueries.
would that be this Lord Deben?

If it wasn’t so depressing it would be amusing
Yes, and Beeboid enthusiasm for low efficiency wind farms contrasts with Beeboid hostility towards high efficiency shale gas developments in Britain.
Well of course. Wind farms have to be subsidised from the Labour Money tree – but companies may actually make (dare I suggest it) a profit from shale gas.
And, of course, its Obama’s economic policies that are responsible for any signs of (comparative) resilience in the US economy. Nothing at all to do with cheap energy from shale gas coming on line.

LOL. “We need more windfarms to power electric cars, says David Cameron
Britain needs more windfarms to help power the electric cars of the future, David Cameron has said.”
