Interestingly, I was reading earlier today about how many 'renewables' companies are trying to exit the market. Apparently, wind farms are rather expensive to install and run, whilst solar farms require more maintenance than originally thought and have a shorter life span than expected. - Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

It won't make money if the subsidies are removed. People are (at last) waking up to this renewal nonsense. Tidal power is possibly viable, but that requires 'real' investment and not fly-by-nights.

The idiocy continues. I really despair at this country's low level of basic intelligence and common sense!
