Mast plans approved

I hear from others that the usual eco-mentalists and "Say Yes 2 Wind" (Wareham, Prior, Walding etc.) were in St. James Square on Thursday 21st trying to snag the early Festival goers to sign some photo copied "letter" of approval for the Parkhurst application and to say they had "read" the application.
One wonders when the penny will drop into their empty heads that the "Greenest Government Ever" have at long last realised just how expensive and irrelevant this wind scam is.
Additionally, submissions to the LPA will only be considered if they contain material planning considerations, NOT just because some Wazzock got you to sign a pro-forma bit if paper saying "I love wind farms".
Go read Mrs. Justice Langs Decision in the High Court.
BTW, this is NOT a response to the Walter Mitty D.J. So dream on.

Dear Don....allenergy producers are subsidies, nucleur, coal and oil included, so lets not throw that red herring in...it is our duty to attempt as communities, and Island and a country to promote levels of self sufficienticy and I don't include hot air production from the anti-anything brigade

Heres some more good news that came out today.

Vestas pulls out of plans for Sheerness wind turbine factory
Earlier this year the finance chief of Vestas, the world's largest maker of wind turbines, quit and other directors will not be seeking re-election to the board.
The upheaval came after Vestas reported a loss about four times greater than analysts had expected.
Vestas made a loss last year of 166m euros (£138m; $220m), compared with a 156m-euro profit a year earlier.

Great stuff!

I noticed this story in todays CP right underneath the story of the PfR mast which collapsed during high winds on the site of the proposed 2 X 125m wind turbines at Parkhurst, which oddly enough was not reported on here.
Lets hope that this mast stays upright.
Apparently/allegedly a "guy rope" snapped causing the high wind to snap the mast.
Just as well nobody was walking past at the time and there were no
injuries or worse suffered by members of the public. With the government now calling a halt to the subsidies within 7 years for these green energy scams, we will hopefully not hear of anyone on the IOW injured or killed by these giant eyesores, because there won't be any.
