The point is, Wind turbines are a Political Sop and generate little energy and cost a fortune [offset by our Taxpayers subsidy via the Labour Government] and are an eyesore to boot. If ever we needed a sign that the country is losing its marbles then it is the Greens insistence that renewable energies are so much better than Coal, Oil and Nuclear power sources. Modern Coal powered plants would enable energy at the flick of a switch [ for those cold nights that will inevitably come, usually accompanied by still air [so no pathetic wind power output then?] and if history confirms Climate Change as a natural event and not Man Made, then all those squillions of pounds in Carbon Offset/Trading/Claptrap will have been thrown down the proverbial drain - instead of making roads smooth, building new houses, educating our children, cleansing our hospitals etc.
There is no Political Party for those who think "Global Warming" is a con and that we should remember that the Middle Ages rejoiced in much warmer weather than we have now
and no one was driving cars or flying 747's!!!!
CO2 is not a poison - trees/plants die without it.
Final point - removal of 24 hour "Breaking News" would be a huge bonus and would help avoid the scaremongering to which we are now subjected.
Yesterdays "Tornadoes"??? [Squall line] had cameras Zooming in on 6 tiles laying on grass as proof of a 'disaster in the Midlands'
When will the hysterical madness fade away and sense and sensibility return?
