Kent has been saved from a fate worse than death.? The nimbies have won yet another victory at the expense of our communal environment.? The proposed windfarm in the Thames Estuary has been dropped by Shell.? Could this be because crude oil is $120 a barrel?

The Government are always giving hefty subsidies to the ‘wind’ industry.? How? That’s why electricity bills and energy bills in general are so high. We are paying! In a nutShell —–

• The London Array could provide 25% of London’s electricity.
• Shell pull out of partnership with E.ON (Germany) and Dong Energy (Denmark).
• Crude oil $120 per barrel
• BP wants to go back searching for new big oil fields.? How will this be financed? from profits? No, by selling off its $7 billion of renewable energy interests.
• At a recent conference on “Forced Migration due to Global Warming” I asked a cabinet minister when there would be legislation to protect the majority from the the will of the minority? The reply was something like ” Oh no! That’s planning law, very complicated.? And I don’t like wind turbines? anyway! Talk about fiddling while Rome burns? .
• USA and China have beaten us to it with aquiring the available kit.
• Rising costs of steel for the turbines and copper wire.
• Weakened £ against the Euro.
• Construction and maintenance costs are higher offshore than land installations.
• Currently the spot price for electricity is £45 per megawatt/hour.
• The companies building the London Array could have expected to be paid £130 for every MW/hr unit produced.
• You guessed it, the circle is complete, WE PAY.
