twenty something years ago when everyone was talking about cheap, clean energy solar panels were subsidised in the belief that it would help everyone get free electricity. Then someone in the treasury departments of the world looked up and said ‘ you do know the billions we get from taxing energy will vanish if everyone has free energy on their rooves?’
Enter wind power as the main source of clean energy, the ugliness of wind turbines and the inability to recycle their blades, and the huge income they give to landowners while those paying for the electricity go hungry. And the reason? Wind energy can be directed to power stations and then onto customers and everyone can be taxed.
Another great con.
