– the lies they are feeding us about wind farms

Instead of me writing, someone else has already done the work for me, in the shape of a children’s book. Download a free copy of SUBSIDY SAM using this link.

P.S. Sorry, I couldn’t resist adding the following as well.

Which is to highlight the real reason why wind farms are being built and how this has nothing whatsoever to do with providing clean energy or powering our homes. Because no matter what we have been brainwashed into believing (they are even doing this in schools, what next?) this is all about making money. And the quickest way to do that is construction.

What we are witnessing right now is the biggest building project in UK history. At the same time it is also the end of any remaining ecology. You can’t have it both ways. All the habitats and species that have managed to hang on this long, after being ousted by our creeping occupation, are now doomed to extinction.

Think of it as yet another form of taxation. We the consumer, are being conned into paying more for our energy to pay for the construction of the wind farms so we can save the planet. Yet, significantly what we aren’t being told is this isn’t going to save anything (in fact the opposite), it’s just another way to siphon public money into the pockets of the super-rich (including our Royal Family), who then reap the rewards from our now total dependency on electricity.

To add insult to injury, they aren’t even going to be paying tax on the vast profits they’ll be making.

Every new day brings yet another con. What next I wonder?

Well the answer for Shetland is yet another hike in Community Charge. 10% this time (while state pensions only went up by only 4%). This from a public body (the SIC, Shetland Islands Council) which has zero public accountability to its taxpayers and consistently overspends on consultants, overstaffing and vanity projects. They are like a TESCO apple, overpriced, tasteless and rotten to the core. Money literally haemorrhages out of their hands, while the real needs of islanders are continually ignored.

Wind farms are not even a sustainable form of energy. They use far more natural materials to construct than fossil fuels, and they don’t even last that long. A coal or oil-fired power station could expect a working life of 50-75 years, while wind turbines 25 years at best. And with each day that passes, just like solar panels, the amount of energy they can produce lessens.

In an ideal world, energy for our homes would come from a nationalised industry (not a new idea), one which wasn’t required to make a profit, and with no greedy shareholders to pay. Yes, how quickly we have forgotten that the energy industry (electricity/ gas/ oil) is all in private hands now and has to make them money first or they won’t be interested in providing it. A nationalised industry would also instantly lower our bills. Plus the pricing could be structured so that those who have to use more to heat their homes pay less. At the moment this works the other way round, Shetland (where heating is required to be on most of the year) has the highest tariff of all.

If the government really is serious about making energy green, then why not establish a cap on the maximum amount of electricity each property can use (per day or month) and force users to take responsibility for not wasting it. Plus it would be an incentive for manufacturers to ensure their products have a far lower power consumption in future, a technology that already exists but they haven’t been encouraged to adopt.

Sadly, what we are witnessing is only the beginning. Every day our population continues to increase, and all those people will be wealthier than their forebears and want more electrical goods (including of course electric cars). If we continue promoting childbirth like this, as acceptable, then we will have to face up to building even more wind farms. It will never stop. SIC have already publicly stated they now need to build at least another 2000 wind turbines (though that would actually need the space of several Shetlands), just to supply the needs of one local company.

There is so much we could do to change all this, none of which would cost anything to implement. But while we remain under the control of such a corrupt political system (local and national) there isn’t much likelihood that will happen. The best we can hope for is that their insane greediness (for money and power) turns against them somehow. Sooner rather than later.
