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.

No to Wind Farms
I'm still saying it - please tell your MP we don't want our Hard Earned Cash going to make the Power Companies even fatter. They can't lose. When the prices go up they only make 5% profit - boo hoo! I am sorry. Some business cannot make ANY profit!!
We all bailed out the Banks and they still get their salaries and FAT bonuses. Why should the power companies get FAT. I mean why pay the Wind Farm operators to NOT generate electricity - they can't lose either. They get 3 times the rate for a Megawatt of power for NOT Generating -
IS THIS MAD OR WHAT?
So not the Daily Mail has seen the madness of Constraint payments and is showing what a rip off Wind Farms are.Now there is another Money Generating Scheme - Forward Trades.
Lets stop it.
When a typical energy bill is £1300 per annum and over £200 is Tax that makes nearly 20% tax you and I pay. Is this fair on the poorest and those on fixed incomes when those companies can afford to build multi million pound wind Farms to generate Multi Millions of money!

Free Electricity from British Gas?
Absolutely ridiculous - "Free Elctricity at weekends".
Are we saving the planet or not?
You know what will happen - folk will blast it at the weekend wthout a care. All this energy comes from somewhere. BG hope you'll forget and continue to have the thermostat up in the week. More profit for them.
Yes SUPPLY=DEMAND - laws of Physics. So huge power stations like Drax (Coal fired) and the Nuclear ones have to run 24x7 they can't switch on and off. Its the BASE load. But we go to bed at night and switch off. We all put the kettle on at half time in the World Cup etc. Solar power is only during the day (light), wind power only works when its windy. So what do the suppliers do - they match the peaks and troughs with Gas powered stations that can go on and off quickly but they are expensive and Gas is not so plentiful.
Unless we get Fracking!
It won't work. We need to conserve energy. What next - only allowed to wash at weekends. Only allowed to boil the kettle when its Windy?
What they need to do is sort out the Grid infrastructure so the power can get to where it is needed. Windmills in the Sea need big cables to get the power to the Cities. We must STOP the Constraint payments. Paying the Companies NOT to Generate - that's what its about. They get 3 times as much NOT generating than when they do. If we didn't have the GREEN subsidy on our bills then there's be no Wind Turbines 'cos they don't make economic sense. Then ALL our bills would be cheaper.
