Inquiries by The Spectator have revealed a scam known as ‘de-rating’. Green businesses are modifying large turbines to make them less productive, because perverse government subsidies reward machines that produce less energy at nearly double the rate of more efficient ones. It’s extraordinarily profitable for a few beneficiaries, even if it clutters the countryside and does little to save the planet.

They are probably spinning at a rate of destruction at the moment.

Alternative energy is all about the subsidies, rather than saving the planet!! 

All these solar panels that have sprung up on peoples roofs in the last few years are only there because of the generous returns people get on their investment! and who pays?  We do!!!
