‘Brainwashing’ over renewables

I HAVE just had sight of a free “Onshore Wind Energy Seminar Series” designed exclusively for local authority planners, councillors and representatives from statutory agencies and local interest groups.

They will take place on 26 and 29 June in Scotland and are organised by the propaganda machines RenewableUK and Scottish Renewables, who get their funding from those who benefit from subsidies as well as government bodies.

Another eight seminars are planned for the rest of the UK. I bet Donald Trump and the anti-wind turbine brigade will not get an invite.

I suggest that our elected councillors and planning officials have more intelligence than to go to these brainwashing sessions and instead will look after the local community interests despite the free lunch and refreshments.

Running these seminars discloses how desperate the renewables industry is getting as politicians, the public and anti-wind groups are exposing the flaws in the Scottish and UK energy policy and the horrendous cost to the energy user.
