JOGGING around the country as I do, and reading local papers when I can, Tuesday found me in Sheerness, technological capital (not) of the Isle of Sheppey.
The front page of the local paper reports that Peel Ports have sold 75 hectres of land to Vesta wind turbines.
The factory will only go ahead if Vesta gets “assurances from the UK government of its continued support for wind energy”.
This, of course, would mean the least able to pay having to fork out proportionally more of their income to support green technology which can only exist with massive subsidy.
When will the Government listen to its own technical advisors and get real?
And, as a footnote, wasn’t a big push supposed to be made for the North-East to be the home of wind technology?
