Milking our taxes
IT is indeed galling to read that foreign governments are to make millions
from a “world-first” Scots wind farm (“Japan and Italy to make millions
from ‘world-first’ wind farm in Scotland”, May 5).
The Scottish Government has positively encouraged foreign-owned
multinationals to carpet our greatest tourist asset – the finest landscapes
in Western Europe – with demonstrably useless wind farms, sorry subsidy
farms because that’s what they really are. The Japanese and Italian
governments will make millions from our taxes extorted from the poorest
bill-payers in society.
They are now handing over our pristine seas, fishing grounds and
incomparable horizons to be carpeted by foreign-owned multinationals for a
pittance.
To cap it all, after 30 years of eye-watering subsidies, once again, this
very morning (May 5), the entire fleet of 11,000 entirely-parasitic, giant,
industrial bird-mincers is struggling to provide the National Grid with 2%
(reaching the dizzying heights of 1.50% to be precise).
By the way, the entire hugely damaging array will be worn-out rusting hulks
and in need of replacement long before 2050.
SNP Scotland really has become a world leader in tragic stupidity.
George Herraghty, Lhanbryde.
