I can see you're not happy about this, Philip.
However, using electricity comes at a price.
There is another way to produce electricity, but it's a concealed secret. Why should I reveal it?
It's scientifically certain, though.

Quote from the article that explains it all - "It could earn as much as £3.6 billion pound a year through consumer subsidies for its owners Forewind, a consortium of British, German and Norwegian energy companies. "
£3.6 billion a year, not through selling green electricity, from CONSUMER SUBSIDIES.
They're not productive, rarely put out more energy over their lifetime than is needed to manufacture, install and maintain them, and are only economically viable because of financial arrangements over carbon taxes.
Even the bloke who runs the Thames Barge trips out of Whitstable to view them has to use his diesel engine more often than not to complete the trips on time.

The one good thing about any declaration that "voting is a mug's game" might be the frustration behind it. I do believe that as things are voting has little to no effect, but at least while many do vote (and I am one such) the right to vote remains. Remains. As does the frustration, but the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

...." £3.6 billion pound a year". Yep that's an awful lot of wonga. Unfortunately many people have been brainwashed by watching too many wildlife documentaries fortelling of mass extinction, man to blame, coal is bad, green is good, hippies caring people, those in suits evil, planet in peril hogwash.
Gullibility knows no bounds.
Try talking to anyone who thinks wind farms are a good idea till you're blue in the face but they steadfastly refuse to open their eyes to the economics.
It's as if they're stuck in a train of thought that only therapy can break them out of.
"Something must be done to save us all".
"Scientists say they're a good thing so they must be good".
Etc, etc. such is the cult of green.

Philip, instead of thinking voting is a mug's game I think you're ready to stand for election with Peter Hitchens new alliance!
