Private Eye has just discovered some CC bks !! Old Sparky, “Keeping The Light On” article, Issue 1420, has just discovered that Biomass plants CO2 claims are complete bks, and that, surprise, surprise, the Biomass Industry is allowed to regulate themselves !!! I duly sent them a link to this Forum Topic.

That is odd as they are generally pro AGW IIRC?

Seem to be relenting. Not the first anti CC bit they've slipped in. They pointed a suspect finger at COP21 a few isuses ago. I duly e-mail them when they do, and suggest they take an interest in this scandal. Maybe it's working?

Good news, world record fossil fuel consumption, increase 2.6 times 'renewables' increase.

Good news, because people aren't starving or dying from cold as much, which is the opposite of what the 'greens' want.

Delingpole - holy crap, I think he needed sedating after writing this windmill piece!

Probably hyperventilating, insufficient carbon dioxide.

Never was so much owed by so many to so few for so little.

Well obviously. Almost everything that is wrong with the world can be traced, ultimately, to Tony Blair.[/i]

I liked this bit so much that I am going to repost it here:-

"Huhne’s a perjuring spiv and jailbird; Davey’s thick as pigst; Clegg is a revoltingly entitled, Westminster educated slimeball of a Euro creep."

I do wish that I had Delingpole's command of the English language.

IIRC she escaped this time, in that I can't remember reading her name. Memories are fallible though...

A positive spin on the problems of intermittency from the BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36516585

Another connector to France!

So, what if the french close down a large part of their Nuclear fleet if Germany tells them to? Or because they decided to go "free Wind"?

£1.1 billion cost to go 150 miles (is the channel getting wider?). Is that a bargain?

If so, why does it take a Ukrainian business owner fronted by a (bought and paid for?) Lord some-one-or-other to make the investment? Is it really just some form of Money Laundering?

It is a commercial bet on the fact that we will need energy due to the ludicrous energy policy of successive governments and that therefore they can invest and make lots of money.

France is closing coal capacity and intends to limit nuclear to 50% of production, and has connectors with at least 6 other EU countries (all net export from France by a large margin).

So French nuclear is almost single-handed keeping the EU lights on, helping compensate for bad energy policy decisions everywhere.

Of course there'll be little spare capacity in France soon..........

I see UK windmills have made a negligible contribution for 19 of the last 23 days, and not a great deal on the other 4 - why no headlines in the press/BBC!

Another oddity, France is sending UK 2GW, but UK is receiving 1.5GW - Is that transmission loss or an error in the data?
