Quote from: Cassandra on Today at 02:56:34 PMIn the North of England in Lincolnshire, 'Lord Camerons father in law' Sir Reginald Sheffield', is big into the scheme (funny that). The Windmill Barons receive 'Wayleave' remittances termed Constraint payments. So when the wind blows too much and the National Grid can't carry any more current than presently being consumed they get turned off. 'Reggie' and his mates however still get paid by HMG as if they are at it full bore. They then leave their ugly towers turned on however and sell the energy to 'Private Consumers' or battery farms at a cheaper rate!Well said, Cass.
As Del Boy would say lubbly jubbly - you couldn't make it up!
When I told my American pals over here the story they at first refused to believe it (Gov't Scuttlebuck they called it) and of course they're right. One said even "Richard Nixon would get jail for that, these guys must pray for still days - double your money"!
When Starmer gets in, the full disclosure of a lot of the skullduggery of schemes like this over the past 14 years will hit the ventilator big time. He'll make sure of it. The 'Blue Rat One Nation/Green Tory Bawbags know this too. Thay's why they're deserting the ship big time compared even to previous Tory meltdowns ...

Quote from: JBR on Today at 10:52:01 AMI was unaware of this. In fact, I cannot believe that the people responsible for siting those windmills didn't have the common sense to consider the strength of suitable foundations and the type of land on which they were erecting those things.
Then again, this is 2024.
