ANONYMOUS STRIKES AGAIN

LEECHES. Parasites. That's what they are. And NOW one of them has attached itself to a member of BLoW.

This is the price you can find yourself paying if you STAND UP for renewables. Some nutcase will decide that you need "EDUCATING". You will become the OBJECT of their personal ATTACKS. They will vomit their IDIOCY all over you.

The MANIAC whose latest opus is featured here clearly imagines that a member of BLoW (who only got involved in the windfarm campaign when the nutters of VVASP roundly ABUSED him at a public drop-in session organised by ScottishPower Renewables) was somehow personally responsible for the proposed Lenchwick Windfarm.

The selfsame MORON seems to be of the DEMENTED opinion that "COMMON SENSE" prevailed at the Wychavon planning committee meeting (when a more intelligent assessment would be that NIMBY LIES and political ARM-TWISTING were what led to the disastrous decision).

Apparently, this WEIRDO thinks that the "PUBLIC will always WIN - clearly unaware of the fact that the "PUBLIC lost that particular battle - although it has not yet lost the war.

Ah, but - here's an interesting conundrum. Look at the signature.

What in the name of everything that's holy is a "very"HAPPY" "ANTI" windfarm SUPPORTER"? Seriously, what is it?

An anti-windfarm supporter? Does that gobbledegook mean that this HEADCASE is anti windfarms or anti windfarm supporters? (The letter, along with the last one they sent, might indicate the latter.) Or is there some new form of LANGUAGE being developed by the deranged and deluded "ANTI" windfarm brigade?

That seems very likely. It would mean that it is possible to become an anti-windfarm supporter, even though to the man in the street that means nothing. You can become a supporter of anti-windfarms. You will cease to be a "protester" or an "opponent" or even a "campaigner". No: you become a "supporter". A "supporter" who happens to be anti-everything.

The reality is that this crazy abuse of language is typical of the anti-wind movement. Take the so-called "Renewable Energy Foundation", a privately-funded group which regularly briefs the nimbies' favourite rags, the Telegraph and Mail, against windfarms. (Much of the funding for the REF comes from a chap who is known for investing in the chaos that climate change will bring - yes: you heard that right - REF's investor wants climate change to cause enormous disruption, because then he'll make a fortune).

Mr or Mrs DIMWIT (above) has happily quoted the gormless Daily Express when it has splashed anti-windfarm propaganda from the REF over its rubbish pages. Really, a group calling itself "Renewable Energy Foundation" spinning anti-windfarm BS to such colouring books as the Heil, the Torygraph and the Abscess??? Does that mean that the "Renewable Energy Foundation" is in fact anti-renewables - a sort of national body for anti-windfarm supporters??

Er, yes. Journalists from BusinessGreen.com have spoken to the director of "policy and research" at the Renewable Energy Foundation, one Dr John Constable ...

Hang on! The leader of our local anti-windfarm supporters is a Doctor, too! What discipline is this that specialises in misrepresenting who and what you are in order to mislead huge numbers of people? What's it called? Is it the same qualification as Dr Goebbels had?

Anyway, it turns out that Dr Constable doesn't really care for renewables at all. Not very much. No, he clearly prefers nuclear and - wait for it - fossil fuel systems as energy providers.

In other words, he campaigns ON BEHALF OF those dirty industries which would LOSE OUT if renewables were given a fair crack of the whip. Hmmnn ...

And, what's more, he opposes any subsidies for renewables, EVEN THOUGH his preferred industries - nuclear, fossil fuels - have received much, much more in the way of subsidies than renewables will ever receive!

Basically, the mouthpiece for the anti-windfarm supporters of the Renewable Energy Foundation (see how weird this all gets?) is against renewables, against modest subsidies for renewables, passionately opposed to windfarms and deeply in favour of coal, oil, gas and nuclear.

HOW CAN SUCH A BUNCH GET AWAY WITH CALLING THEMSELVES "RENEWABLE ENERGY FOUNDATION" WHEN THEY EXIST TO LOBBY AGAINST WIND ON BEHALF OF FAILING POWER SOURCES IN ORDER TO ENRICH A MAN WHO IS GAMBLING ON MAKING A KILLING OUT OF CLIMATE CHANGE??? HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?

Well, here's something refreshing. Some good news, plain talking and basic honesty. As usual, and in stark contrast to the BLOODY LIARS of the anti-windfarm supporters pro-renewables not-a-protest campaign, it comes from the windfarm industry.

RenewableUK really does what its name suggests - it lobbies on behalf of renewables (unlike the Renewable Energy Foundation, which is very dodgy) - and it has announced that it has secured an industry-wide protocol. This means that, henceforth, community payments to the tune of a minimum £1,000 per megawatt of installed capacity will be available for local use wherever a windfarm gets the go-ahead. In response, the Government is backing RenewableUK's call for business rates from turbines to be kept and administered by the local authority.

(Which means that, rather than spending "a bomb" in trying to justify its lunatic anti-windfarm decision, Wychavon District Council could have been receiving a huge windfall every year for twenty-five years. D'oh!!)

As the honest and open side of the windfarm argument puts it, the local and regional economy currently benefits from about £1 million per megawatt of installed capacity over the lifetime of a windfarm development. So, everybody wins.

But then you get traitors like the Renewable Energy Foundation and their brainwashed ranks of anti-windfarm supporters trying to make things a whole lot worse for everyone (well, everyone apart from that guy who's gambling on climate change being very bad indeed and doesn't want to see any nice clean wind projects making things better).

They say truth is the first casualty of war. So we might as well admit that the anti-windfarm supporters have gone to war with the honest ones among us, against the interests of Great Britain and Planet Earth. And their lies just keep on piling up.
