Homeowners face £1,000 increase in electricity bills: 'Folly' of relying on wind power 'will cost homes £26bn by 2030'
Homeowners are facing electricity bill increases of £1,000 and winter power cuts if the Government continues to rely on wind farms, experts warn.
A new report claims that if the Government continues to chase renewable wind power, the average household bill will soar by £1,000, costing homes £26billion by 2030.
The report, submitted to the Lords Science and Technology Select Committee, was authored by the Scientific Alliance.
I just got a notice in them mail from Choptank Electric. They are going to request a 6% increase. I guess I'll be lighting candles at night and using oil lamps. There is just no way to get ahead in this economy! Property taxes, Sales taxes, and fees. I've already ditched the cable.
There are literally dozens of other industrialized nations that utilize massive amount of wind power and do not suffer from higher energy bills or winter power outages.
100% wind is an awful idea right now, obviously, but I'm not sold on the opposition to any wind energy and neither should anyone else! Use your heads people!

I would like to think this way as well but I want to know where these places are. If we had prudent lawmakers (Jim Mathias!) they would put this on hold until the concept is more perfected. Find out, study where this is working out better than expected and copy their model. If you want to be a guinea pig, then do it on your own dime and not on the backs of taxpayers. MD doesn't have to rush into this, they don't have to be on the "forefront." This isn't some kind of race.

So if you look for cheaper electric, we will make you pay.

let's "study" this as long as it takes to "study" the shale oil!
ReplyDeleteDon't do anymore "studies" 11:28, but study successful wind projects so they can be copied verbatim.
ReplyDeleteHow much is the cost in American $.
ReplyDeleteThe "RUSH" is caused by government subsidies paid to the developers who will push anything through as fast as they can and then disappear.
