Fuel poverty ‘shocker’ should power energy reform

The show’s host Calum Macdonald asked if something was “just not clicking” between policy and legislation.

Using Viking Energy Windfarm as an example, Mr Macdonald said the windfarm could power up to half a million homes but its owner SSE was given £2 million to switch off its turbines in August.

He added that fuel poverty in the isles was around 30 per cent.

Are wind farms just another big scam, like man-made global warming?

#criminal #windfarms are a #death #zone

Looking at the data for #electricity demand for the #UK over a period of months, it seems like it rarely dips below 30 GW or much above 40 GW. With the introduction of large numbers of #ElectricVehicles, I expect that demand to rise significantly but if car batteries are also used partly for domestic use then it may smooth out peak demand out. More #WindFarms and other sustainable sources will needed as well as #NuclearPower for the base load.
