Wind Turbines – What Chris Huhne Does Not Want You To Know (via Tory Aardvark)

And they are insisting on building more of these because???

I personally am all for greener living wherever practical, BUT not when it causes a blight on our landscapes, drops entire villages property prices to a crippling level, destroys wildlife and actually has no real benefit to anyone except the manufacturer ( often outside of the UK so no jobs for us Brits) and whomever’s pockets are getting lined for giving the “green” light for these projects

This short video compilation exposes shocking images of death and destruction that is the hidden price of wind farms. Blighted communities campaign to stop green lunacy, the toll on birds continues to mount, the environmental damage from wind turbine production in China is kept hidden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svicELHAWyw During the coldest winter for many years, British wind turbines failed spectacularly to provide electricity because it wa … Read More

Green Stealth Tax Will Sentence Millions Of Britons To Fuel Poverty (via Tory Aardvark)

Just a little over 10% of your disposable income spent on bills places you in fuel poverty? Good grief, where does that place me then?
After paying my rent alone, my leftover income is a mere £77.62 per week ( often £10 less if less hours available) so after paying out a minimum of £24.50 to the Water Board, £22 to the electricity company, and currently £16 for gas ( I daren’t use it in the winter now!) that leaves me with just £15.12 per week on average to buy food/clothes/transport/all life’s other expenses for myself and my son!
For the record, we do NOT live like Royalty, we rent a tiny damp-ridden horrid flat, best I could manage, rarely have any lights on after sunset, we share one bath per week to save water, ( there is NO shower here sadly), and don’t run the central heating at all, there is only a 2-ring gas hob that rarely works anyhow, and I rarely have anything worth actually cooking in the electric oven!
Since the local bus company recently decided they wanted £24 per week for a local travel pass, we now have to walk everywhere, which on a very poor diet is actually not doing us any good.
I currently hate the Government for preaching one thing to us all with regards to austerity measures, some of us have been living in austere times for a heck of a lot longer than they realise, especially when THEY themselves are lording it up at Wimbledon, and various posh dinner parties lately, and I also hate the utility companies who do seem to be taking the mickey out of us mere mortals, the less I use of anything the more it is costing me………yet they cry “repairs and carbons taxes” yet proclaim such ridiculously HUGE profits on a regular basis!
Rant over

This absolutely has to be a first, a centre left think tank has criticised a Climate Religion policy warning that the Carbon Floor Price introduced in the 2011 Budget, will cause fuel poverty for tens of thousands … Read More
