All the more reason to have a combined approach with DIVI

Sweeping up someone’s white flag by the looks of it

A ‘Knucklehead’ production for M&C Saatchis’ campaign for National grid :::::: https://lbbonline.com/news/national-grid-connects-the-uk-to-clean-energy-with-humorous-film-starring-a-giant-power-plug

Was that Ed in the high vis ??

It’s Akin to Golden Gordon’s ‘PFI’ model ‘Buy now and REGRET LATER’! Below are the thoughts of others but then one persons ‘Think Tank’ is another’s ‘Sink Hole’…..

‘The overwhelming majority of green energy subsidies reward politically powerful constituencies and businesses whose primary purpose is not to build better energy mousetraps but to build only ones that qualify for the largest subsidies.’ A la Zerohedge

Yes we need some impartial journalists to start doing a real job !! Yesterday’s subsidy costs @ £1.56bn pretty much mirror the pensioners WFA !! Perhaps Milliband could say ‘Windmills paid for by Great British PENSIONERS!’

Interesting dynamic at 7.21, Scottish power given an intro and an easy question but after he’d Given Re Ed’s line was shown the door .. no enthusiasm @ BBC to promote and likely aware of the limey critique on who is paying for it !!

Vat receipts and petrol car rationing … where’s Ed ? https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/petrol-cars-rationed-to-meet-climate-change-targets/

An interesting parallel … wonder who’s going to cut the mustard :

Scotsman article yesterday by Lib Dem MP Alistair Carmichael ( Orkney & Shetland ) https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/windfarms-constraint-payments-ps920-million-fuel-poverty-4761558

Ed best beware as this looks like the tip of a big edberg: https://www.shetnews.co.uk/2024/08/30/petition-calls-councillors-attend-viking/

James cook didn’t panda to the government line & drew out the real fears of residents ! Reality and not a Miliband quote in sight .. he even started off by saying they were being paid for not turning :/)

R, AB has a headache with labours indifference .!! Theres likely a few moves to come if October is a wipe out !! Your long vaunted wring it dry will likely be on the table paying divis then twinned with Malaysia petrobas investment and a possible new home for Veri

James Cooke has written a pretty balanced peice … shame he’s not mentioned it will only support 35 full time jobs .. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3w6zld90zjo.amp

Yes agreed with your thoughts but there a team of ideological desk jockeys and think tank wonks who’s tone of voice is well demonstrated by Rachael’s WFA Blunder !! With as many hours in the real world as a girl guide group on summer camp they’ve a lot to learn !! Hubris before ideology & People first!! Not books and policy … but then wot do I no ??

Ed best get his scates on over to see New Zealand’s energy Minister ? Wot no gas ?? We’re happy to cite NZ and Finland when it suits on policy so best take heed of their respective O&G and nuclear energy policies : https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/New-Zealand-to-Reverse-Ban-on-Offshore-Oil-and-Gas-Exploration.html

When you are given done drivel tomorrow about energy superpower and thousands of jobs here’s a fact .. One of the largest wind farms to be commissioned has created 35 full time jobs !! Once we’ve built and planted a1000 turbines even those imported jobs will disappear: Once installed and operational, Viking Wind Farm is expected to support up to 35 highly skilled, full-time local jobs overall across a range of disciplines in the operation and maintenance of the wind farm.

Ed keeps telling us he’s doing good work !! He’s not telling the pensioners and those on the cusp of energy poverty that they’re footing the bill ! The Eastern Green Link subsea power cable will be the largest in the country to date, with phase one expected to transport enough energy to power around 2 million homes in England. This will be the biggest single investment in the U.K. grid to date, to be funded by energy bills.
