Wind turbines drive electricity bills higher and higher. Most wind farms are foreign owned so the extra money you pay ends up going to Europe. How did we get in this mess? |
Wind turbines destroy the environment.

Cost of wind farms.
The national press, especially the Daily Mail has been telling trying to make the British public aware of the extent to which Green taxes and hidden subsidies for wind farms are making electricity more expensive.
In June they had an article -
The REAL reason fuel bills are going through the roof? Crackpot green taxes you're never even told about.
The article explains the subsidy that we all pay to wind farms via our electricity
bills and the extra tax that is made on other power stations to deliberately make
them more expensive so that wind farms can be more profitable.
The net result - electricity bills increased by an average of £200.
“The problem is that renewable energy — most of which comes from on- and off-shore wind farms, solar panels and biomass plants (power stations fuelled by wood chippings and agricultural matter) — is between three and five times more expensive than power from conventional sources such as coal or gas.”
Green 'tax' to rise every year... but don't worry, ministers claim overall bills
will be lower - because their policies will make you use less energy
On November 24 the Daily Mail provided us with further information -
Households currently pay £89 a year on their bills for the green energy drive, but
this will increase every year to reach £280 by 2020, according to the Government’s
Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
A statement by Chris Huhne, Energy
Minister confirms that it is the Governments intention that we should all be forced
through deliberate price rises to reduce our consumption of electricity.
In a bizarre statement, energy and climate change secretary Chris Huhne told the House of Commons that his policies mean consumers will actually be better off.
He said: ‘By 2020, we expect household bills to be 7 per cent – or £94 – lower than
they would otherwise be without our policies. Because they will use one third less
electricity.
Tiree - To appreciate the huge extra cost of wind turbines watch this video. It was made by people trying to stop some of the most beautiful coastline in Scotland being filled with turbines.
