Sure looks "green" to us

Sure looks “green” to us

You may recall we posted an earlier video prepared by Ben Acheson.

This video is currently making the rounds. The spokesperson here is Ben Acheson, who is actually a Policy Advisor in the European Parliament. He has made several other videos on “green” power and wind in particular, which are well worth seeing. Perhaps you have seen Wind Energy: chalk it up to a loss, which is also one of Ben’s.

In this video, Acheson suggest that business is capitalizing on people’s wishes to do the “right thing” for the environment, but that various money-making ideas which DON’T help the environment (like wind power) have been promoted.

On to the current video:

Here is a very short video prepared by Ben Acheson, policy advisor on energy and the environment to Member of European Parliament Struan Stevenson. He reviews the European experience with wind power and says, it’s time to chalk this up as a loss.

And what a loss. Billions in the pockets of developers, and “fuel poverty” for the people.

Watch the video here.
