Here you go Foxbat read this post from a few months ago read it and weep on your way to the Emerald Isle
My nephew is doing a renewable energy degree at Brighton University he told me that the North Sea is a superb location for wind power production and he stated last month that by 2050 The North Sea would be Providing 40% of Europes Power.
This week the Crown Estate auctioned off licenses to power companies to develop Dogger Bank,that has generated a nice windfall (cough cough) for the treasury. Also this week it was announced that the price of wind power development has fallen by two thirds to £40 per Watt/ hour Hinckley point is costing roughly £80 an hour.this means that future development of the North Sea wind power industry will not cost us the U.K. Taxpayer a single penny what it means in real terms
Is that by 2045 The North Sea wind power hub will be producing enough electrics to supply 126 million homes! There are currently 25 million homes in the U.K.
So as far as I'm concerned roll on Brexit!
If the Jocks want to go let them! Although they would be daft to do so!
Same for the Welsh! . Stay in the Union and help us 'Milk' the EU! The remainder of the Eu can pay through the nose for their electricity!

The North sea power hub is a European project though? What is your point.

You do know all these North Sea windfarms are built by Danish companies. The price has only become economical because many countries/institutions started working together to improve the economies of scale. And the dutch and other countries have led the way on proposals (and financing) for the new power hub(s).

Its nowt to do with brexit you daft old sausage. It will be pan European cooperation in spite of brexit.

You see? The poison that politicians of the right have spewed ever since that asshole in America and that assshole banker over here started hasnow infected each and every one of us.

I have just abused two probably reasonably decent human beings who think they are doing the best they can. The peoeple on this thread, with the exception of Foxbat, have, without exception, personally attacked a fellow Rovers supporter simply because he has a different view to them. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Every one of you. Just like I should be ashamed for attacking Trump and Farage. The difference though is I didn't name my targets. You lot all have.

Foxbat made a perfectly reasonable point. The concept of 'thesis, antithesis, synthesis' seems to have left your vocabularies, and your minds. If there is no debate progress stops. And you lot are stopping debate. Grow up.

Do you know why the Crown estate owns Dogger Bank. It doesn't matter what firms build wind farms they have to pay the British government to do so.
How many oil firms that have exploited the North Sea over the past 40 years were owned by the UK Government?

[BobG]

BP for one. British Gas for another.

Bob, how has my post personally attacked foxbat?
All I did was ask him if he voted to remain.
A perfectly acceptable question based on what he wrote in his post.

Bob, the person you're defending accused people who voted Brexit of being racist, and still hasn't apologised.

I don't take lightly being accused of racism.

[Padge_DRFC]

We'd have to pay a few billion in before we get 500 million back.

[BobG]

In which case he too is suffering from the same affliction as most of the rest of us Steve. Sad days indeed. I don't suppose Foxbat likes being pilloried much either. So, each with vengeance in his heart incites the other to worse and worse.... That's how vendettas start. Wars too.
