‘Wind Industry Jobs’ Lies Gets Busted in UK
The ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future comes with a promise of an endless sea of ‘groovy’ sustainable jobs in the manufacture of solar panels and wind turbines and much more, besides.
However, across the globe, the great ‘green’ jobs ‘bonanza’ is being revealed for the hoax that it truly is.
In Germany, wind and solar central, the reduction or removal of subsidies to wind and solar has seen more than 150,000 so-called green jobs disappear (see our post here).
Brits too, have been beguiled by the promise of a ‘green’ job extravaganza, which, surprise surprise, has failed to materialise. As detailed by the Global Warming Policy Forum, below.
Britain is turning into the Venezuela of wind as green jobs are exported to Asia

A trade union has slammed the “myth” of a green jobs revolution after Scotland’s only wind factory has closed permanently. The UK’s ambition to become the Saudi Arabia of renewables with promises of a wind farm jobs bonanza are evaporating as Britain is at risk of turning into the Venezuela of renewables.
The factory, which employed around 130 people, was the only UK facility manufacturing onshore and offshore wind towers when it was bought by the South Korean company in April 2016 but has been effectively mothballed by its owners since November 2019.
According to recent reports, more than half of the estimated £50bn investment for Boris Johnson’s planned offshore wind farm expansion is expected to go to companies overseas as companies opt for manufacturers in Asia which produce at lower costs.
Much of the electric components are no longer made in Britain partly because most firms specialising in heavy electrical equipment closed down or moved abroad 20-30 years ago. It is thus an effect of the long run decline of the manufacturing sector in the UK.
The other factor is that there has been huge shift in the industry manufacturing turbines. 20 years ago there were at least 30 substantial manufacturers with fringe of many small firms. Today there are 3 large international companies – Vestas, Siemens and GE – plus a fringe of Chinese and Indian suppliers, primarily focusing on local markets.
Boris Johnson’s green industrial revolution will make energy and thus manufacturing ever more expensive, making what little is left in UK manufacturing even less competitive.

Can police and magistrates act motu proprio against those who rushed to unsustainable and discontinuous power supplies, with removal of existing reliable sources, as suspects in an act of sabotage?
