Fairly cheeky, no?

Millionaire Labour donor Dale Vince has joined a campaign to block Britain’s biggest nuclear power station project.

The entrepreneur, who founded green energy company Ecotricity, has emerged as a patron to Stop Hinkley after accusing the Government of wasting billions of pounds.

Given that, you know, Dale’s cash comes from money wasting by govt?

  1. Logical enuff.

    The last thing the Greenies want is clean electricity that is actually available all the time.

  2. There is just so much twaddle on the Ecotricity web site. Enough to make it an amusing read. Like “green” gas made from grass cuttings, and storing electricity in batteries for when the wind doesn’t blow (not mentioning that you do that with about four hours storage for peak supply, not four weeks).
    It could be fun to get Ecotricity done by the advertising standards people. Nothing on their website would give customers any doubt that the electricity they are buying comes from anything that isn’t “green” , yet the customers smart meters don’t turn off their supply when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine.

  3. Good old Will Shakespeare had it right. “A pile of dung by any other name would smell like Dale Vince”…

  4. Dale Vince (n) a device for transferring taxpayers’ money to the Labour Party while providing negative benefit to said taxpayers. See also: trades union.

  5. Since it’s because of the regs pushed by people like Dale that the power station hasn’t been built years ago, that’s a bit rich.

  6. No wonder green electricity is so expensive, have you any idea what a bugger it is sorting out the green electrons from the rest?

    Can’t you just put them through a colour filter?

    Surely you’re not telling me they’re actually indistinguishable from the normal sort?

  8. Shirely anybody who grew up with Usborne science books knows that electrons are blue. (Protons are red, neutrons are brown. It just makes sense.)
