If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then Boris Johnson is clearly barking mad. The UK PM’s latest cunning plan is to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on government guaranteed fixed price contracts – paying way above market rates – subsidies and taxpayer support for chaotically intermittent wind power.
The ludicrous largess is being pitched on the same delusional basis as before: the promise of tens of thousands of groovy ‘green’ jobs (of the kind that never materialise and disappear in an instant, when they do); and power so cheap that they’ll pay you to take it (obviously, only when the wind’s blowing, of course).
Here’s a trifecta of tales from an increasingly beleaguered Britain.
