Wind scam revealed

[Davey]

Sizewell is within a few miles, so no problem with the nuclear power station. And it is a sight more reliable than wind turbines, it doesn't care what the weather is doing.

here:

Yes, definitely.

Next question?

[The Natural Philosopher]

Damned right. They are operated to a much tigther set of regulations.

[dennis]

I would go for the safest option and go for a nuclear power station.

Dear Sir,

From my kitchen window I have a clear view of the four wind turbines at Marr. At first I thought they looked rather magnificent. Bathed in sunlight they are a tribute to man?s engineering brilliance. But then I started to wonder why they don?t actually seem to do much. When they were at the planning stage we were told that they would provide power for 6,700 homes. All I can say is, I?m glad I don?t live in one of those homes, because it would be very cold and dark for a lot of the time. The turbines don?t turn when it isn?t windy; they don?t turn when it?s very windy; and often they don?t turn when you?d think the wind would be just right. A few weeks ago they were stationary from the Tuesday to the Friday, and quite often some but not all are operating. I?m beginning to wonder if all they really generate is subsidies from the taxpayer. I just can?t see how something that only works when it feels like it can be used to provide the nation?s electricity. A tribute to man?s engineering brilliance they might be; but it seems to me they are also a monument to man?s political stupidity.

comparing wind and solar to the cost of oil,coal, and gas is unfair as the fossil fuel costs do not include the costs of their pollution and CO2 damage causing climate change and flooding of isalns and coastal towns etc

that's because its too small to measure Anyway, renewable energy doesn't actually reduce it anyway.

AS is the subject of a European Court hearing.

Bit here about the true cost of nuclear power. No solution in sight for nuclear waste storarge.

Also shows what a half wit you are TurNiP.
