And governments are in it up to their corrupt necks:
‘Thousands of dirty diesel generators are being secretly prepared all over Britain to provide emergency back-up to prevent the National Grid collapsing when wind power fails.
And under the hugely costly scheme, the National Grid is set to pay up to 12 times the normal wholesale market rate for the electricity they generate…’
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

James Delingpole did a great job in bringing this tale to the masses, though it first appeared under Christopher Booker’s column last Sunday with added explanation from the excellent Richard North.

The next day, Mr North appeared to have broken the dirty diesel angle.

And on Friday, we had how the UK government will even profit from the scheme, at the expense of energy customers.

Certainly this is a major scandal, highlighting the corruption of government and the so-called ‘Green’ movements.
It comes as Germany has its troubles with its wind turbine industry, with so-called environmentalists now seeking the destruction of German forests to place their bird killing wind turbines.

“Under the Clean Energy Future package, there are several other programs to soften the Carbon Tax. A good example is the Steel Transformation Plan package.
It is a $300 million package for our two steelmakers. Already payments of $164 million have been made, $100 M to BlueScope and $64 M to OneSteel.
Now, what actually is the Carbon Tax obligation of these two companies? The LEPID database indicated a 2102-13 liability for BlueScope of 6.3 million Carbon Units. Yet, it has been granted 7.5 million free Carbon Units for 2012-13 under the ‘Jobs and Competitiveness Program’. If the LEPID information is correct, BlueScope is in front by 1.2 million units!”
