HA!!!

Now here's something to tell the evil-minded, foolish nookies of VVASP.

The UK's wind power generating capacity has just topped 5.1 gigawatts. There are an addditional 18 gigawatts of wind power projects currently stuck in the planning system.

First things first - 5 gigawatts amounts to 4% of the UK's electricity generating output. Add on the 18 gigawatts worth currently being held up by deranged nookies and other idiots and you get closer to 20% of the UK's total output.

That's right - 20% of the UK's electricity could be being produced (as we speak) by wind power alone. And this from a source which the cretins of VVASP like to think is unreliable, using turbines which one VVASP weirdo claims cost a couple of billion pounds each.

Anyway, back to reality. Reuters reported last year that the UK's electricity generating capacity from ALL sources (coal, gas, oil, nuclear, renewables and imports) was 105,171 megawatts (or 105 GW). At that point, oil and renewables combined accounted for 8.2 per cent of the total electricity generated.

Very soon indeed, wind power will be achieving upwards of 8 per cent of our electricity generation all on its own. It was only back in February 2007 that the UK topped 2 gigawatts of wind generated electricity, so that figure has more than double in less than three years. Sadly, back in 2007 Germany was producing 20 gigawatts of wind energy, ten times as much as we were, so we were a long way behind. But hey - we're catching up!

And, amazingly, all this has happened while the jerks of VVASP and their sister terrorist organisations haven't even seen a windfarm!!! If they had (well, most of them - can't do anything about the handful who have visited windfarms on behalf of the villagers and come back tellling tall stories), they'd know that there isn't a problem with them. But because to depart from the party line and admit that there's nothing to worry about would be to incur the wrath of Dr R.S. and his thugs they have to keep shouting out lies as loud as they can - it's the only way to fit in.

So, while a small bunch of self-centred, spineless and demented fools are trying to hold up a perfectly harmless and really rather lovely windfarm near Lenchwick, the wind energy industry is streaking ahead, producing more and more clean, green energy. And that's very good news for everyone.

If only the sheep-like herd of VVASP supporters could be bothered to open their eyes, stop listening to the constant stream of self-serving bilge emanating from a few very dangerous individuals and embrace the exciting development, recognising it for what it is and not what Dr Fraud wants everyone to think it is, we'd all be a whole lot happier.

Don't forget - 5 gigawatts of UK electricity currently coming from wind power. Doesn't that make you smile?
