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

Add to this the fact that we KNOW our beautiful planet has been happily reshaping herself and changing without our help or interference for millions of years, and no doubt will continue to do so, again WITHOUT or even DESPITE our attempts at interference.
I wonder what grandiose moneymaking schemes “they’d” come up with if it came about that we knew our sun was going to implode in say 100 years from now?
I am sure someone somewhere would profit from that also!

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

Given the information in this article, and as I am only a mere speck of uneducated sand in the sea of folks in this world, can somebody please explain to me where all the money raised from Carbon Taxes, rising utility bill costs, and all the other extra charges levied by various bodies in the name of “Green” is actually going?
Or would it be too cynical to believe it is all a huge fairy-tale in order for the few rich fat cats to get even fatter whilst we all freeze/starve and generally go without essentials?
I am getting very sick and tired of paying almost 80% of my income just to keep a cheap and nasty roof over my head and use a bare minimum of services, BEFORE I can even think of buying that luxury called food, only to keep reading and hearing in the news of all the profits these companies are making, closely followed by the ” we all have to tighten our belts” or ” We are all responsible for the Carbon Footprint” mantras that these fat cats preach from their fancy restaurant tables that they arrived at no doubt in fuel-hungry vehicles.
