Wind and Hot Air

There is an interesting arcticle by Dominic Lawson in the Sunday Times today which looks at the government's latest green intiative and their plans to encircle the country with wind turbines the size of Blackpool tower.

Taking the example of other European countries that have embarked on a similarly expensive exercise in tokenism, the action did absolutely nothing to reduce carbon emissions and any unused carbon credits were quickly snapped up by other neighbouring and more polluting countries.

The country will pay and absolutely vast price for this action and the benefits will be close to zero. Already energy intensive manufacturing industries are voting with their feet and movig overseas or shutting up shop completely. The vast increase in energy costs this will cause are akin to the oil shock of the 1970's and that was not exactly beneficial to the world economy.

The fact to keep in mind is thet this expenditure of billions of our hard earned pomds will achieve nothing, nada, zilche, fuck all.

If Ed Milliband and this governmet of all the wankers is seeking a new moral cruscade might I suggest they start with solving sme problems that will make a real difference. Clean drinking water for those deprived of that basic amenity, univeral access to education or a thousand other ways to spend the money so it actually demonstrably changes people's lives today.
