Green Energy swindle?

Green Energy like Solar panels on your roof or Wind Turbines are seen as green but HMG wants to cut subsidies to save money , why?

ls

A fraction of the Nuclear subsidy could be given back to encourage folk to put solar panels on their homes to save money on their bills. The energy companies don't like it but its still pennies compared to CONSTRAINT payments that Wind Farms get to NOT generate electricity. When it’s too windy we can't use all the power so they are guaranteed a refund for actually NOT being able to sell their electricity. Now that is true Alice in Wonderland economics

Electric cars are NOT green

This is what I want to see, Hydrogen Cars,  but not pumping Hydrogen in, making electricity from water via solar power!

Surely a "Fuel Cell" that does this can be made?

Crazy - now conventional Electric cars are "rocketing" ! well maybe they would if they ran on ROCKET fuel!

Look  they get £5k from HMG (US!) but they're not cheap, even the lowly "VW i-up" (if were a Yorkshire car it would be the "aye-up" - I digress), is £25k! Who can afford these cars? yep RICH folk so why should they get £5k subsidy for a ridiculous car that only does <100 miles.="">
Crazy. Just Like Wind Turbines - Robin Hood -in-reverse - taking from poor folk (US) and giving to the rich!

Wind Farms - we pay them £1bn to exist

Think - why do we pay £1billion pounds to companies to build Wind Farms?

Energy prices are set to rise at over twice inflation so people will be forced to cut back to save money.

Wind Power is not the answer. After all where do we get our electricity when there's no Wind!

There are 25million homes in britain. If they gave a subsidy to folks to install Solar panels on their roofs, let s say each generates 2kw, that's 50million kw of power or 50GW.

Equivalent to 50 1gw power stations  In the dash for Gas they cost about £10m each and will last 15-25years at most (if the Gas lasts).

I realise Solar doesn't generate at night but when did the Sun Not rise?

Where are the Tidal power stations? Tidal is there all day every day - in/out twice a day.
We're surrounded by sea. Where is the Severn, the Humber and Morecambe bay barriers - free power. No greenhouse emissions.
I don't think they want solar panels on our roofs because its FREE power and the electric companies wouldn't need their subsidies

Windmill Folly

Why all these windmills? I do believe the day will come when we all have solar panels on our roofs and perhaps a small wind turbine or two but these wind farms are stupid.


To meet the needs of the nation we'd need to cover the country and more.


They only make economic sense because of the government subsidy - STUPID!


If we'd spent half the money that's been spend on nuclear power since the 2nd World War, on research into alternative energy sources we'd be sorted - no problems with energy. BUT as it happens they need the nuclear for the Nuclear Weapons programme not Energy! So here we are.


What we need to do is get the Government NOT to  subsidise wind Power, give ordinary folks FREE insulation for their homes thus cutting use/bills. Get energy efficient appliances down in price and freely available (including alternatives to oil in cars).


There's no choice its not if the Oil runs out just When!
