That's why we import nuclear energy from France in the winter when our 3,600 windmills produce zero.<br />If you mean windmills. No. Denmark is saturated. And like the rest of Europe, where subsidies have collapsed they are desperately trying to offload their stuff on us.( the new mugs on the block) That's why Spanish wind firms are locating here.

Not a penny of 'investment' comes from anyone else. Energy companies just throw it on our tab via higher energy bills ( £300 to £6,000 annually depending on which report you want me to link you too ). The government just throws it on our debt and our grand kids debt ( £20Bn a year for the next 40 years if we stick to the present policy via the 2008 Climate Bill).<br />I'd like to see a stop to all renewable scams. Private individuals could pay for what they want within planning laws.

Where did I say we weren't in a depression ? The effects of the depression are being hidden by printing money ( £300Bn so far ) and keeping mortgage rates at 0.5% in order to maintain the housing bubble at all costs. House prices must fall back to 3 times average salary ( £80K from the present £160K).<br />Our debt is £4trillion with £1trillion admitted to. Our monthly deficit is £10Bn which is added to the debt annually. The governments answer is to print money to cover the interest payments while spending £10Bn more a month , increasing the interest payments, and so having to print more money to cover them...you know where we're going here. It has to collapse and we have to take the pain. Spreading wars to deflect attention away from what's happening isn't the answer.RMcGeddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665173796157838927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032670063309271922.post-87629162793050651212012-01-09T03:20:41.961-08:002012-01-09T03:20:41.961-08:00Ged.

Voting for independent candidates rather than people who do what they're told by their leader to the detriment of their electors and country.<br />There's no money to be made from renewables Ged. Can you explain how it makes money ? <br />The SNP could have easily had a referendum in their first parliament. Wendy told the SNP to 'bring it on' and said Labour would support the legislation. Now the referendum could be from now until 2016. That's 9 years since the SNP came to power and shows they quite enjoy power for it's own sake and are putting off the referendum.<br />There's no independence in Europe Ged. Can you tell me what aspect of our life isn't controlled by EU legislation ? It's run by an unelected elite on £300K plus exes and the kiddy on parliament rubber stamps legislation via majority voting.

Independence in Europe means exactly what it ...RM,<br /><br />Independence in Europe means exactly what it says on the tin. Independent from the UK but we'll stay in Europe; simples. The difference is, we get a vote. However, Salmond has said we can have a referendum; it's called democracy in action as opposed to the Westminster politburo that was not elected by us.<br />As to the renewables, it is neither here nor there is global warming is a scam or not. What is important is that we want to gear up to be able to make money out of it and bring employment to our peoples after decades of having our manufacturing industries wiped out by a Tory government.<br />I'm surprised that you do not think that we are already in a depression. I wouldn't trust the figures from the UK treasury as far as I can throw them.<br />By the way, we only got power last May. Prior to that we were a minority government, as you very well know, but didn't we do well.<br />It would be helpful if you declared what your interest in politics were, but I assume you are not going to declare that, thereby putting me at a disadvantage.Gedguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217515188959770657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032670063309271922.post-50477369260994070582012-01-08T18:28:21.967-08:002012-01-08T18:28:21.967-08:00You can't be independent in Europe Ged.

And the billions that we will waste before we finally kill it off. <br />The SNP should stop poncing around the world wasting time with green issues ( Abu Dhabi this week - give me strengh) and get educating the people about independence and get the vote asap. They're sitting on the sidelines while the world comes crashing down. Making the chances of a referendum unlikely in a post depression period.<br />You would almost think the SNP were a false flag operation.<br />9 yrs after getting power they finally think about holding a referendum. The only reason hundreds of thousands of people keep voting for them. You don't think they will ever get elected post independence do you ? They're to the left of Labour and would give us a one party socialist state.RMcGeddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665173796157838927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032670063309271922.post-52335799096493153882012-01-08T17:44:53.658-08:002012-01-08T17:44:53.658-08:00RM,
