I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but it looks good – especially as Booker has a piece on it.

Dellers speaks

Over at the Daily Telegraph. His optimism is infectious, but perhaps a tad unrealistic. There has been no change in coalition policy, and there is not likely to be one in the near future.

Surely a glass of champagne is in order given that you and Booker have largely been ploughing a lonely furrow on this for years. At last common sense prevails...though I suppose an element of caution is needed along the lines 'believe it when we see it'

That is current policy. Hayes frames his announcement in terms of onshore wind giving "offshore wind, solar and tidal power a bad name".

Before everyone commences dancing around the Maypole (made from Ash trees no doubt!), I would perhaps ask the readers to remember that whilst the Minister says one thing, his boss, the Secretary of State says something completely different; and in addition nary a word has been said by either Georgie Porgie or 'Our' Dave. George holds the purse strings, and Dave has hold of the steering wheel, so if that pair ain't saying anything, I for one wouldn't place too much weight on some jumped-up clown who has only been in office for less than a month.

I think it's an accurate statement, bearing in mind that you have to read utterances from any of this crowd like contracts written by a devious lawyer.

Current and PLANNED onshore windfarms will be enough. So more will be erected as they are planned.

The emphasis is to be on offshore wind farms, more expensive, more highly subsidised, all sorts of engineering difficulties in installing and maintaining them but out of sight and no planning complaints.

Onshore windfarms are becoming a political liability, but there's no intention to forget about windfarms altogether.

It really must be like "In the thick of it"... who'd have thought that a government could make so many cockups in such a short space of time? "Thick" is a good description.

Oh dear! Crossed signals on the wind as well as on the EU Budget, poor old Dave, my heart goes out to him!

No change?

No change in the government of, the stupid and in alliance with the yellow filth?

Surprised we are not.

Dave. was rattling on about 'our'? No not ours Dave.....those promises were made by the executive and particularly Bliar, Brown, Hilary Benn et al. Said promise, meant Britain [HMG] signing up to a EU diktat/commitment to enabling the provision of 15% [how the hell do they work that out? and couldn't we just fudge whatever targets they set?] of total energy to come from renewable sources, or summat. What happens on a still evening - does the EU fine us for not generating enough power because of the wrong weather?

John Hayes said:



"bourgeois left article of faith base on some academic perspective"

I quite liked that and doesn't that line illuminate exactly where the green psychosis was borne, of the left and propagated within the culture dishes of the 1960's glass and concrete university campuses of the humanities and Sociology faculties. Indeed, this disease has now spread to the Ox-bridge cult. True, pure academia has bitten the dust in this brave new world , that of a new and exciting science and a specially rewritten history and geography.

Logic, empiricism and reason have long since departed most, if not all of our universities.

Will it be back to - the sun going round the earth, they [liberal left 'progressives'] have brought back the witch hunts and all sorts of hocus pocus sorcery - AGW was a perfect fit.

"Tory boy advisor - is a CAGW advocate and has been riding the gravy train forever and a day since someone gave him an economics degree."
Says, fuel bills are high but renewables are 'cheap'? Works as CAGW advocate and do bears s887 in the woods?

Small wonder, that when the tossers in the executive are 'advised' by even more biased shills, tossers with obvious vested interests - then there is simply no hope is there [but are we surprised?]?



"cheapest energy resources" - I suppose you could argue that statement - but that would be a credulous argument.

Grubb, brown noser and shaped and handsomely paid by brown nosing:



The gravy train chugs on and on.

Hayes is a loose cannon. It is entirely in character for the man to shoot his mouth off, which is exactly what he did. He was in Scotland to deliver a speech on renewables, which he had not cleared with his boss. When Davey, he stopped the speech ... it was never delivered. By that time, Hayes had spoken to the Mail, that paper having been alerted by "well-wishers". The rest, as they say, is history.
