TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 MilliBLAND is a complete *****. The company couldn't build the biggest blades now wanted on all the Sea borne wind farms and is in the wrong place for supplying the shorter blades for the land wind farms. So throw public money at it to save 300 jobs. Where is this money tree, I would love a couple of seeds from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weihrauch17 Posted December 12 Author Report Share Posted December 12 He is happy to throw the Steel, Oil and Gas and Car industries under the bus costing ultimately hundreds of thousands of well paid jobs but a so called Green industry of course not. The man is a total and utter Imbecile who will trash the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 Hello, Did i hear or read Milliband stated when the UK is covered in Wind Turbines and Solar Panels Energy prices will come Down ????!!!!!!, or as a recent proposal cutting or stopping the Standing Charges, When have we seen any Prices come down be it Food or Car insurance, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN !!!!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 They are trying to get the industry regulator to bring in options without the daily standing charge. In order to "HELP OUT" those who use little energy and find the standing charge a major part of their bill. It will still be expensive either way as the providers will not miss out. We have the most expensive electricity anywhere in the developed world and with the GREEN WASHING that is going on it will ONLY get MORE expensive.

Renewable energy is the cheapest form of power in the world: Solar power In 2020, the International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded that solar power was the cheapest electricity in history. In the UK, the cost of solar power has fallen by 88% for utility-scale solar and 60% for rooftop solar panels since 2010. Renewables in general A 2021 report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) stated that renewables are the cheapest source of power. In 2021, investments in renewables saved US$55 billion in global energy generation costs in 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is undoubtedly true, however, the sun doesnt always shine, and the wind doesnt always blow in the UK..... So during a windless, winter night, where is the energy coming from ? So we have to have battery backup, on a scale pretty much impossible to produce, due to limited lithium reserves. Also at a cost that makes renewables VERY expensive. Tidal and hydro is the key, yet for some unknown reason, the UK seems reluctant to pursue this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this is where our political system lets us all down. Only coalition govt can get us to the point where we can make strategic choices.

He was on radio 4 the other day defending his blocking on Cameron's intention to bomb Assad after he had used poison gas in Syria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
