Alleluia - an Anti-Windmill Subsidy Letter in The Times at Last.

Wonders never cease; The Times has actually published a letter today from a critic of the Goverment's decision to inflict yet more carbon penalties on generators rising from £16 per tonne of CO₂ to £30 by 2013, which he says will be passed on to domestic and industrial consumers pushing more of the former into fuel poverty and more of the latter overseas. If Britain is to support a new industrial policy, he says, the environment to allow it to blossom must be in place - and this includes competitive energy prices.

The writer is Tony Lodge, Research Fellow at the Centre for Policy Studies.  Interesting that The Times never seems to find space anywhere but on its letters page for attacks on the Government's insane policies on 'renewable' energy but regularly provides massive space to worshippers of the Windmill God. In fact you rarely read criticism of it even on the letters page. Looks as though even The Times dared not be so brass-necked as to just bin Tony Lodge's letter along with all the others it must be binning every day.
