"How on Earth can the prime minister justify paying billions of pounds of subsidy to French power companies when the chancellor is slashing welfare budgets for poor people in Britain and there are a million young people unemployed?"

Yeah because renewables don't cost anything do they?

[IainT]

That's quite telling TB and quite shocking even though we knew that much of our energy bill is scammed off us.

I wonder how much of the OFGEM 'transmission cost' could be reduced by good management..?

Did I read somewhere that these "hidden taxes" break EU law?

I heard that Richard Black used to be a journalist. Apparently now he just writes opinion pieces and dresses them as news.

I doubt abyone would be so daft as to not see the greenist agenda though "four former FoE directors"... not experts in anything other than scamming tax payer funds then...

No clue, did you?

Can't see anything from a quick Google that implies this.

The closure of a Kent power station been condemned by UKIP's Industry spokesman, Roger Helmer MEP.

Helmer said:

"It was demand for its output in cold weather that led to the power station running out of permits to continue operating sooner than expected".

We're now entering Alice In Wonderland territory.

A sort of wind powered green socialist utopia? That sounds like Alex Salmonds vision of an independant Scotland so your wish may yet come true. I think you'd also have a better chance of the headcases moving to Scotland then to Greenland and once they are all there we can simply build a line of coal fired power stations this side of Hadrians Wall. These will provide power to Scotland when the wind isn't blowing but at a much higher price thus subsidising cheap electricity for everyone in England.

Sounds a bit like HHGTTG where they sent all the hairdressers, telephone handset sanitisers etc off in a spaceship as the planet was doomed.

So what about the subsidies which go to windfarm owners like E.On (Germany), Dong (Denmark), RWE (Germany) and EdF (France) who then buy turbines from Siemens (Germany) and Vestas (Denmark).
