The Cost of Going Green!

[Halb]

On now! Anyone watching it?

[Jasandjules]

No, is it good? (read, honest, accurate) Or is it full of "eco" s***te...

[Halb]

Well it was kind of going on about how some of the initiatives are costing us money.

[Jasandjules]

That's at least a start.

I don't understand why people are not out marching against these subsidies. It is estimated the average 'green tax' will be about £500 annually on our bills by 2020. This is outrageous. It seems no-one is interested and to protest is futile. To be honest, I had no clue as to what was going on until a so-called 'wind farm' company started 'scoping' near to where I live. These giant turbines are a license to print money.

There are several reasons

1. To be anti Solar Panels/Wind Farms is like saying you like to murder babies - the Eco nutters make no distinction
2. People are too stupid to even realise that much of their leccie bill is to subsidise this scam
3. People are too stupid

It's not something that the mainstream media really talk about.... SO most people have little idea, so a show like this is at least a start.
