RSSThe lunatics in charge of the climate change asylum have a seemigly endless capacity to waste taxpayers’ money on expensive and futile plans for ‘Canutian’ climate control. Yes, the divorced from reality multi-millionaire climate and energy minister Chris Huhne, who owns 7 homes, has secured £1 billion for carbon capture technology at a supposed time of financial [...]
Trying to meet our EU renewable energy target would cost more than we currently spend on our entire electricity production, says Christopher Booker. Sunday Telegraph: Renewables will add £880 a year to bills

Martin Cohen describes how capitalist ‘bootleggers’ have co-opted the environmental ‘Baptists’ to fulfil their raison d’etre – making money. Thanks to the ‘greenwash’, the solutions could be worse than the problems. [...]
“Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Huhne admitted the massive expansion of wind farms across Britain – along with clean coal power stations – will send electricity and gas prices soaring” reports the Daily Mail.

Companies including Tata Steel Ltd. and GrowHow U.K. Ltd. may leave the U.K. as climate-protection policies boost electricity and natural-gas costs. Factories will pay 18 percent to 141 percent more for gas, electricity and carbon-reduction programs by 2020, adding about 7 million pounds to the bill for a typical large energy consumer, the London-based Energy-Intensive [...]
