Ed Miliband is to relax planning laws to make it easier and cheaper for developers to build onshore wind turbines and solar farms. Ah yes, the 'green' movement that destroys the countryside.
There's a reason that electricity costs twice as much in Britain as in the USA, says Dr. John Fernley. It's because of brainless plans like Ed Miliband's to power us with a sun that doesn't shine when we need it most.
Britain doesn't have enough land for all the solar panels that would be needed to power Labour's nutty Net Zero agenda, says Ben Pile. Truth is, you can't make everything electric and run it on sunshine.
Ed Miliband’s decision to give the Mallard Pass a 3,000-acre-solar farm is like forcing a baby to have tattoos for its own health, says Joanna Gray. Trouble is, too few these days care for the beauty of nature.
Ed Miliband has pushed through Britain's biggest solar farm on green land despite the objections of officials, prompting fears he is endangering the nation’s food security.
The Economist predicts that the "exponential growth of solar power will change the world". But this fails to reckon with the scarcity of silver, which is being used up faster than it can be mined, says David Turver.
Renewables are not cheap and are never going to be, says David Turver. With over £12 billion being paid in subsidies to or because of renewables each year, the claim that renewable will save us money is a myth.
Every job in wind and solar power is currently costing the taxpayer over £250,000 in subsidies every year. This isn't the promised "green prosperity"; it's the path to penury.
EU solar panel-makers are on the brink of extinction as a massive oversupply from China sees manufacturers pulling out of the market or facing insolvency.
They're unreliable, expensive, environmentally destructive and need a backup on standby. When will politicians accept that wind and solar power can't replace fossil fuels, asks Richard Burcik.
