There's an album by a guy called Joe Walsh(Your pal mook will know) called "you can't argue with a sick mind" Feeling a bit like that masel just now. Are you really saying because Osbourne cut the subsidy from WM its all Swinney and the SNP fault ? Is this what you're saying ?

Has no one looked at my link where the Scottish Tory party clearly says it was the Westminster gov who scrapped it.
Who cut what is really quite irrelevant, the wind farm industry is currently heavily subsidised, it shouldn't be, the Tories said many years ago the subsidy was to be scrapped and gave plenty of opportunity for the Scottish government to find their own way to subsidise it or make the companies making plenty out of this to accept the cost.
The funding for the subsidies comes from the “renewable obligation”, which is funded by levies added to household fuel bills, so you are paying on top of your fuel bills for another source of energy, paying twice to turn on a light?
The companies that are making a shed load of money out of this should shoulder the cost and build these things if they are really needed, however the fact is the people who live in the communities that are to suffer these monstrosities don't want them there and the Scottish government has already surpassed its targets on this source.
The wind farm industry has had decades to prove it is a credible sustainable resource, however the facts prove it to be otherwise, the SNP love to point to the Nordic countries as examples of how Scotland should be run, so check the link for the Danish government's cost cutting in relation to this "sustainable" power.

Hardly an unbiased group... "stopthesethings.com" lol
Like you (or me for that matter) setting any store by an article about rangers from a website called "sevcoareanewclub.com".
Give us something from an impartial commentator...
Fact is that renewables are pish at what they do. Every wind farm in Britain put together probably has a smaller output than Drax. Although I haven't actually researched it so that could be utter baws...![]()
Joe Walsh is brilliant.
