I've had people accuse me a whacking on 'green energy'

because I'm stubborn(when they're being nice) or don't care about the planet(usually delivered in accusatory tone); no, I'm against a lot of this crap because of the costs; from Britain, for instance,
Obviously this is impossible, but our Government will nevertheless do all it can to meet its unreachable target and force through the building of thousands of turbines, capable of producing a derisory amount of electricity at a cost estimated, on its own figures, at £140 billion (equating to £5,600 for every household in the land).

Which brings us to the third of last week’s news items, a prediction by energy consultants Ulyx that a further avalanche of “green” measures will alone raise Britain’s already soaring energy bills in the same nine years by a further 58 per cent.
Please note the 'FURTHER' in that last sentence; that's on top of all the other increases so far. I'll throw in that one of the electric companies here in OK started a program that, in the name of 'green', you could indicate your desire to have some percentage of your power come from wind; for which indulgence you would pay some extra percentage on top of the regular cost for that part of your electricity. I called 'bullshit' and declined.
A significant part of this crippling increase, helping to drive more than half Britain’s households into “fuel poverty”, will be the costs involved in covering thousands of square miles of our countryside and seas with wind turbines. The sole beneficiaries will be the energy companies, which are allowed to charge us double or treble the normal cost of our electricity, through the subsidies hidden in our energy bills; and landowners such as Sir Reginald Sheffield, the Prime Minister’s father-in-law, who on his own admission stands to earn nearly £1,000 a day at the expense of the rest of us, for allowing a wind farm to be built on his Lincolnshire estate.
And that thousand pounds/day will in part be paid by his neighbors through those subsidies they had no say in.

I say again, Bullshit.
Added: there be some big money in that there AGW stuff
