Power

Well at least the Lib Dems got something right for a change, all this talk of renewable energy is pie in the sky, what happens when all the school children and parents return home from school and work?, first they switch on the lights next the PC, Laptop or Games machine then maybe the TV, mum and dad would like a cup of tea and of course tea, what effect does this all have on the national grid? a massive upturn in the need for more power, so how do they do this the bring coal, nuclear or gas powered power stations, all of these have one thing in common they can be switched on line with the throw of a switch, now how can you do this with wind turbines you can't if the wind does not blow so then what, sola power is what it says solar it needs the sun to work efficiently the dark nights are no help and very little sun in the winter and if it does show up it is very low on the horizon, so how does this renewable energy work and is it green, well for a start the wind turbines cost an arm and a leg !!, are they made in this country NO they are not so we have to import them from Europe, so we are benefiting another European country not us, sola power is now the big thing so many companies trying to put it on any south facing roof they can get, the income that is promised has fallen by a half and no doubt will fall even further as the government decides not to subsidise it so highly, we have councils promoting sola panels on some of the best arable land in Cambridgeshire something like 900 acres many sacks of potatoes will be lost, we have much of the land now covered in rape seed to be used as bio fuel, the whole world has gone mad, it really makes me laugh we have many people up in arms in this country about coal fired power statins as they see them as part of global warming, then we have the Chinese who need to expand their power out put so need many power stations what are they going to use as fuel?, why coal and the advice regarding the building and commissioning of new stations is by UK engineers, so we are not allowed to have them but we will help China build them instead, I just cant stop laughing.
