Joke?New Sign Unsuitable for HGV

Joke! New sign "Unsuitable for HGV" yet this is the proposed route for the oversized Asserby Wind Turbine deliveries. Thanks Lincs CC.

NO to Asserby WindFarm - who owns the land?

I have asked just who is Energie Kontor? They are the Company putting in the planning application to ELDC but they don't own the land. This seems wrong in that if I wanted to extend my house I would have to put in planning form my house and my neighbours would know exactly what I was planning.

Asserby Wind farm is simply and vaguely Land to the South of Asserby.....but who owns this vast tract of land - well I think its basically 3 people. These people will benefit to the tune on many millions of pounds over the years from the Turbine Earnings - mainly from Government (yours and mine) subsidies, even if the Turbines aren't generating!

So, I believe one landowner is

Gary Allis,
Furzehill Farm, Bilsby,
Alford, Lincolnshire, LN13 9QS

He is well known locally for his cricketing exploits and Farm (650 acres) innovations - good luck to him as a farmer I say, but how will he live with his neighbours when he's angered so many and destroyed the areas heritage? I thought farmesrs cared about the land, sorry no its a business, he wants to earn MAXIMUM from hi Land. Wind Turbines harvest the Wind!!

Mrs Sarah Jane Alliss is also a director.

I show you the theoretical income from a 10gw windfarm as proposed for Asserby, shared between, EnergieKontor and 3 people of course.

Fuel Poverty is a Scandal

I've said it before it is grossly unfair that the poorest in society have the most expensive fuel bills.

Don't believe me? Think about it.

• Most tariffs are geared at people who can afford to have big bills, the more you use the cheaper per unit it gets. 
• Also with the standing charge even if you used NOTHING you'd still have a bill to pay.
• All bills have 5% VAT, so the higher the price the more HMG gets
• Regardless of your income - you may be on benefits or a pension YOU pay VAT
• If you're on a pre-payment meter - you pay in advance and can't swap supplier.
• Prepayment meters are the dearest tariff
• The GREEN Tax - another 10-15% goes to GREEN energy - what's that? Paying big businesses millions to build Wind Turbines that only work a third of the time, the rest of the time they get paid even more! Unbelievable - check it out.
• The Big Green 'uns get paid even more.
• If you're in arrears you can't swap suppliers.
• Poorest people live in homes with the worst efficient heating/insulated homes.
• Poorest people often can't manage their heating.

Need I go on? Basically VAT and the Green Tax is a Robin Hood in reverse Tax, making the poorest pay the most so the Rich get richer.

The Burnley Wind Farm Giant Blades arrive on special roads and with Mega Lorries

These are the new roads the Turbine companies build for you so they can get their out-size loads into place. Look at the mess they make. Then the "normal" roads have to be closed with Police escort while the mega-loads trundle along. Wonderful?

This is the desolation on the moors above Todmorden/Burnley

Some people are looking forward to the new roads the company will build them in Lincolnshire. they're not new Dual-carriage ways just tracks across the fields to get the loads in.

STOP Asserby Windfarm

Asserby WindFarm Planning Application - N/016/01046/14

www.e-lindsey.gov.uk

Scroll down to Search for a Planning application, register there, search for "Asserby"  and submit a comment/objection. Or  if you reply by e-mail please send your comments to Andy Allen. andy.allen@e-lindsey.gov.uk

The latest given date is 15 August 2014 for consultation replies. Comments can be accepted up until the day before the decision is made on the application, which at the moment ELDC have no idea when that will be.

I would definitely recommend putting your objection in writing, it pays to have as many residents writing their letters as possible now that Eric Pickles has stated local residents have more sway over the decisions (that is yet to be seen but its the idea).   But your objections need to be on material considerations such as:

 

• Highway safety
• Traffic
• Noise
• Effect on listed building and conservation area
• Design, appearance and materials
• Government policy
• Previous planning decisions (including appeal decisions)
• Nature conservation

Look at the Planning application by EnergieKontor and see what issues they've addressed. These are the ones they will argue they have met the guidelines.

Please put up a fight.

Who is EnergieKontor UK?

Funny a German owned company like this can put up dozens of Wind Turbines but only has 12employees?

4 directors

Guy Alexander Wilson born 1967 14yrs with EnergieKontor
Peter Robert Harrison
Peter Szabo
Thomas Walther

Who are they and where do they live? Do they build Turbines near them I wonder?

Their Real address is,

4330 Park Approach | Thorpe Park | Leeds | LS15 8GB


In 2012 they had only 12 employees - how can they build Wind Turbines - must be
like Popeye and eat plenty of spinach! they don't seem to have much money either look-

Asserby Turbine Drawing 115m Tall!

This is a diagram of the proposed Asserby  Turbine 

115m Tall

The Lincolnshire Wolds at Ulceby Top are only 96m above Sea Level.

Huge eh?

No to Asserby Windfarm

Isn't it ludicrous to bring htese Giant monsters along single track roads with dykes either side?

LOOK - a giant Turbine Transporter crashed off the road. Now this was a main "A" road and it couldn't cope. How will they cope with our narrow and single track roads with Dykes either side? Its just ludicrous to think that they seriously believe that this will be OK.

It appears that the probable route they will brig the Asserby turbines includes Grimsby-Louth - Legbourne - Woodthorpe - Beesby - Hagnaby (yes really along that single track road) with many modifications to accommodate the huge lorries. 105tonnes! Will they be conveyed or spread out - they will have to close roads and have a police exscort! We couldleaflet the route perhaps and put signs up? Especially Beesby/Hagnaby etc? typical transporter. I guess they will need  66HGV journeys a day over the 9 month construction period (great eh for the residents of Beesby/Hagnaby (of course avoiding Bilsby and Alford!).rising to 88 per day on concrete pouring days - how much concrete? 1 tonne concrete = 1 tonne of CO2 produced!! (very green - not?).

No 2 Asserby Windfarm

Get ready for the Planning Application to go i. If you want to be notified make a comment on th eELDC Website Planning, scoping application. They will then write to you.

I ask, I make it clear to everyone, go to the ELDC Website, that if they would like to be notified when the application for the Asserby Windfarm is made, logon to the ELDC Website, register to "comment on planning" then go to the EnergieKontor and Whitehouse Farm applications (or email Michelle - Michelle.Walker@e-lindsey.gov.uk). You must make a "Comment". I exhort everyone to comment.
Go to Planning search "Asserby"

White House Farm is Ref.

Free Electricity - this IS the answer to the Fuel Crisis?

Free Saturday Electricity- Just a gimmick – should be outlawed. These folk will just gorge themselves on power. How can it make sense? We should all be trying to use LESS electricity. British Gas should reduce prices for everyone. This tariff will be banned.

Solar panels is the answer, everyone should have them. During daylight all my electricity is virtually free (and green). Make use of that, don’t be a Saturday Planet burner.

The Chancellor missed atrick or two today.

5% VAT on home energy - why not abolish it on the first £1500 of bills? WE all have to pay our buills even those on Benefits but because of "Standing Charges" the less you use the more you pay proportionately in TAX. This husrts the poor trying to economise - is that fair. Those on benfits pay often the highest prices especially if they are on a pre-pay meter. The VAT goes up as prices go up. Mr Millionaire doesn't care.

Then there's the GREEN TAX, about 15% goes to pay these muti-billion pound companies raping our countryside witrh subsidised Wind Turbines.

You do realise they get twice the market rate for what they generate (whether it is used or not) and even more when they can't sell it!! Check this out!

What about the BBC? £600million is the cost of Free TV Licences for Pensioners over 75. OK for them but why? Why should anyone pay an ertertainment tax? £145 per houshold to watch TV . But that would lose votes from the over 75's but not if we all were exempt.

Mr OSbourne PRIVATISE THE BBC SAVE US ALL £145 A YEAR. (£32billion a year cost).Does SKY get a subsidy? It might even generate a windfall like selling the Post Office. Come on State Funded Entertainment is NOT a Conservative policy is it. If it were tried now it be laughed out of parliament.

How GREEN is green energy, and where does all the CO2 come from

How GREEN is green energy, and where does all the CO2 come from - Fossil Fuels you say - well look at Concrete! Look at all the Manufacturing that our society does - it needs ENERGY!

We are all familiar with burning fossil fuels and creating CO2, but I wonder about other things in society that consume energy and generate CO2. Concrete is a good example. Who would think that buildings are responsible for huge amounts of Co2 emissions. Anything made of Concrete is fuelling the Carbon emission to the tune of 1:1.

Every ton of cement produces almost a ton of CO2. That's why the concrete is reckoned to be one of the most polluting industries on earth, responsible for up to 5% of total world greenhouse gas emissions.

Think about wind Turbines – Green Energy creating no Carbon but how did they get built?  How was the Turbine fabricated – in a factory, Steel create from iron ore, smelted in huge furnaces fuelled by gas/coke/coal producing CO2, then  made into a tower with blades and generator on top.

How did it get there – transported by ship/lorry to the site hundreds of miles away. Then the Foundations for a huge 115 m high monolith, concrete every ton of concrete used in the base created 1ton of CO2 .

Not very Green eh?

No to Asserby Windfarm

I'm against this proposal. Less than 1 mile away I'm terrified of the low frequency noise they produce, its insiduous and you can't ignore it. it damages people's health but because its not LOUD the Developers tell you its safe
ITS NOT SAFE.

Read the evidence

Against Asserby Windfarm Weds 5th Feb 2014

Excellent talk by Bob last night on NOISE from Windfarms. It is Infrasound - low frequency that travels distances, penetrates and disturbs you, and is harmful to health. Imagine when a train goes under a bridge, you get a whoosh and a bump, that is what happens when a Turbine blade passes the bottom of the Tower yet it can be travelling at 180kph (over 90 mph)! every second.

Are the lights going off?

I've said this before - the country does not have a coherent Energy policy. This helps confirm this.

Robbing the poor to pay the rich (to build windfarms) will not solve the problem.

RWE NOT building Windfarm - Against Asserby Windfarm

Hoorah! Perhaps this is the beginning of the End? Maybe when the Government understands the public anger against a policy of taxing the poor to pay the Rich (Energy Companies) is morally and ethically wrong, they'll adjust the phenomenal payments they give for Green Energy making it nonviable merely as a profit making exercise?

agains Asserby Windfarm - new law for locals

New Pickles law means we get a say in the planning of new windfarms. This law starts next month so I hope it applies to EnergieKontor's application forAsserby? It hasn't gone to planning yet.

No to Asserby - more evidence to Damn Windmills

Read this - look at the Graphic describing just how Futile Windmills are (sorry Windturbines). Don Quixote would be proud.
To get the same output of the Hinkley B on its 430acre site they would have to cover upto HALF a MILLION acres with Turbines. Also they'd pay them more than Hinkley for the priveledge of generating (or not) since wind isn't 24x7 output.

CRAZY

No to Asserby Windfarm - meeting Huttoft Village Hall - Thursday 17th Oct 19:00

Get your self along here and see what's going on and have your say.

WindFarm Anger - Andrew Marr show - Ed Davey is WRONG!

Just had the biggest LIE from Ed Davey on the Andrew Marr show.

He said "Windfarms only get paid when they generate electricity".

This is a LIE.

Constraint payments pay them for NOT generating electricity. We pay the greedy windfarm owners even more to NOT generate electricity. 

Is this right?

Also because the infrastructure is not there yes they get paid for generating electricity but then it isn't used by the Grid. So what use is that?

Sorry Andrew - get him back and put him right.

Energy Price Hike - what should Dave do?

Now we are being hit, just when the winter begins. Last winter was bad enough I guess our bills went up by around 15% because of the cold.

On my bill there is approximately 15% that is Tax. 5% is VAT the rest is the Social Payment! That is what they pay to the Windfarm Gold Miners.

OBSCENE. Pensioners and people on beneits are Taxed to make greedy landowners ever RICHER. Robbing the poor to make the rich richer,


Have I mentioned the MILLIONS that the Windfarm owners GENERATE in income?

LOOK

4 x Turbines producing 10MWh

Even at 30% efficiency over 25 years they GENERATE 
£61 million!!

Not to mention if they're in the wrong place and can't export their power the owners get even MORE in CONSTRAINT payments.

Appallingly obscene.

WE'RE Paying for this. Write to your MP to get it stopped.
