Huhne tells us why we need to have spiralling power bills in order to avoid, erm, spiralling power bills:

I note that he doesn't openly mention global warming or climate change - we've already moved on to security of supply.

Even the Independent is allowing sensible articles with crticism of the wind farm scam, greedy developers and profiteering landowners. Perhaps the message is finally getting through.
Hurrah for us NIABYs.

It's a good job that real science is at the heart of Government policy.

Experts from The Met Office said the average central England temperature in June reached just 13.8C (57C) – the coldest since 1991 which managed only 12.1C (54F).

July has so far shown little signs of improvement with overcast conditions and long days of drizzle.

Temperatures have averaged just 15.8C (60F) and forecasters are warning that the rest of the month is unlikely to pick up. That could mean an average Summer temperature of only 15.1C (59F).

The cool temperatures would make this year the coldest summer overall since 1993, which averaged 14.9C (59F) from June to August.

Interesting comment at WUWT, not checked if it has any validity:-

For those of you in the UK, and in particular Scotland – the power utilities have been stiffing you for an illegal and ineptly stealthy “carbon tax” since 2002 see:
http://tpdrsl.org/index.php/bloggo/starvethe-beast
and more here:
http://tpdrsl.org/index.php/bloggo/how-to-starve-the-beast

They (Scottish Power et al) are putting their fingers in their ears at the moment…."

Save 8% on your utility and make a point into the bargain.

Australian government guarantees the price per tonne of Carbon dioxide, totally ignoring the market price already prevailing in Europe and opening up massive opportunity for futures trading. He compares the likely outcome to the US housing market once the banks got involved.

Just watch the Martin Place Wizards construct some derivative contract that will allow them go short the Australian contract price and long the ECX futures contract. If there is a way to arbitrage even a penny, these dudes will find away.

No wonder all the four big banks are drooling about futures trading of Carbon Dioxide credits here in Australia, especially with a guaranteed minimum price of $15.

Just like the financially destructive CDO’s, the banks here will leverage the bejesus out of Carbon trading and sell these new Carbon Dioxide Obligations (hey let’s call’em CDO’s) to suckers in the retail market.

Don’t think it won’t happen. The same MO was used by US and European Banks with the “safe” asset class of American Housing and we all know what a clusterf..k that turned out to be.
