• Is your money blowing in the wind?

    Updated: 2012-02-07 21:58:29
    Wind turbines have become a familiar sight in the Scottish landscape. From the centre of Glasgow, the Whitelee Windfarm at the southern edge of the city can clearly be seen. Wind farms have been promoted as a cental plank in the renewables energy policy which will allegedly revitalise the Scottish economy and save the planet. But how much of a contribution do the turbines make to the energy needs of the nation? And how much does it cost when the . . .

    In closed rooms at Queen’s Park, bureaucrats and policy-makers are poring over submissions about how much you should pay for renewable energy. Many of the submissions have not been publicly released. And while the policy-makers labour in private, discussion among non-government officials has also been muted. For example, a coalition of green energy groups assembled dozens of like-minded “thought leaders” for a discussion of Ontario’s renewable energy policy late last year.

The measure, carried out by the new national government that took power in December, is the second obstacle for the projects that had been awarded by nine regional governments over the last two years, the newspaper said.

The UK is one of the windiest places in western Europe and that is a resource the government is determined to exploit.
