No to Asserby windfarm - objection

Look - as far as I can tell this table is relatively accurate.

Wind Generators get paid ROCs and the Wholesale price of Electricity, per Megawatt.
they have been falling slowly but you can see there are Millions at stake here.

Say it costs £1million per turbine to build, wish I had the odd million and a few acres to build on!!

Anyway assuming the Turbines are only 30% efficient (the wind doesn't blow all the time) they'll get (at today's prices) over £500,000 a year - per turbine so for 4 over the 25 years £56million plus - that's if prices don't go up - will they?

I say its a Criminal Swindle to the Taxpayers

What do you think? 

I predicted the Internet!

Now that should have been me. Back in the '80s when I worked for Visionhire I predicted that folk would just want cable TV they would have access to TV/films and all sorts of information via their telephone wires!

I should be as rich as Suranga Chandratillake!

No to Asserby Wind Farm and Farms everywhere

Look at the Government statistics for your area.

Not about wind farms but look at the stats for your area. This part of Lincolnshire (on the coast) is very below average for the country. The demographic profile is for older people and their problems (health etc). IF the Government is pouring milllions into the area - THE MONEY GOING TO THE TURBINE OPERATORS - why don't they do the MORAL thing and spread it around the area for the benefit of the residents and not just the few FAT CATS who are just getting FATTER! It s the reverse ROBIN HOOD syndrome - rob the poor togive to the rich! Just to appease the Bureaucrats in Brussels.

More Fuel poverty - TAX Benefits

Surprise - more people in Fuel Poverty.

Lets face it. most people have to heat n light their homes? Even if you economise the bills are horrendous.

Don't forget this Government GIVES millions back to the richest -

cutting tax from 50p to 45p for those on over £100000. Just think, for someone on £200000 that's saved them £5000 a year.

Now I could pay my fuel bills for nearly 5 years on that. Is this FAIR?

Don't forget also we all pay 5% VAT on GAS/Electric (and wood etc.) not to mention the GREEN levy on top of that.

For those on fixed lowest incomes I ask IS THIS FAIR? If you#'re in arrears or on a Pay-as-you-go meter you can't swap and the Tarriff is the highest.

I say the fairest thing is to put 1p on income tax.

As for those on benefits - fairest thing there is to TAX them! So if you get £30k in benefits you pay tax. INCOME is INCOME even if they are Benefits?
