Offshore wind is a winner for whoever actually invests in it and that is not the UK. Over 95% of offshore wind turbines built around the UK are owned by foreign public or foreign private entities. The move to ‘green’ energy is great but the media coverage of how this is happening re the UK is not being honestly portrayed.

Just promise to build more around his golf courses.

Offshore wind looks ugly has a decades long payback and is not reliable. Miliband has always been a loser. The answer has always been nuclear.

I guarantee absolutely guarantee without a doubt.
That if we had built nuclear not renewable that our costs would be cheaper, so much cheaper.
If we followed Frances nuclear model we would have way cheaper electric.
Eds renewable excursion is costing every single one of us. The grid isnt designed properly to take it, it relies on gas to make the difference, and on top all these stupid levies/policy.

i don’t know about you, but the thought of being upbraided by Ed Miliband terrifies me

Can we please fix the energy pricing issues we have in this country. We have just added a carbon tax, aimed to make dirty energy more expensive. Well guess what it does instead? It makes all energy more expensive as everything is still set by the price of non-renewables – due to this average bills are set to increase another 10%. Why do we continually shoot ourselves in the foot? This policy will surely worsen inflation and the cost of living again.

Got nothing against wind farms and don’t care that they going to be installed in the location. The issue is we will not see our bills come down at certain times the company will have to bid to purchase the power this is all stacked for the companies again they will charge us what they want.

Personally I would rather use the funds to block parts of the channel with hydroelectric dams, that way we reduce illegal crossings as the area for access would be reduced and could make a defensive area for Royal Navy deployment, and get green energy, wouldn’t that appease the left and right? As I recall it was once discussed blocking the entire channel to create a massive hydroelectric zone

It’s one of the ways we can gain energy independance that’s for sure. However, the downsides to the cost renewables are currently charged at is significant from my understanding. It’s linked to gas prices as well as pricing in government subsidising the build / research of these wind turbines. More needs to be done to get the price of this energy down when it gets to the consumer. It’s all well and good saying it’s clean and gives us independance but it also costs significantly more than a lot of comparable nations typically charge for Electricity.

Wind is great but we won’t benefit from it if we insist on using gas to set our prices
