LIKE most folk at Christmas, I enjoyed tucking into my turkey with all the
trimmings. It takes a few hours in a hot oven to bring out the flavour, so
what was heating our electric ovens all around the country?
Certainly not the wind industry, its extortionately expensive fleet was,
once again, flat-lining. The recipe for the day was roughly as follows: 50
per cent gas; 20 per cent nuclear; 10 per cent coal, and last came wind at
six per cent. You’d get more wind from a Brussels sprout.
The prize for purchasing the biggest turkey of all must surely go to the
Scottish Government. With wingspans larger than a jumbo jet, they have
purchased not just one but thousands of giant turkeys, skewering them into
our landscapes and seascapes while emptying our purses in the process. Two
demonstrably useless Moray offshore wind farms are costing more than $5
billion.
With hardly a breath of wind over the Christmas period, you could say the
Scottish Government has been well and truly stuffed by the wind industry.
We should all be demanding our money back for a poor, or non-existent service.
For this level of energy incompetence, the Scottish Government deserves a
roasting.
