Off course?

Losers will always, 100% of the time, claim the winners got it wrong. Without fail. Who are they to secondgues­s the folk who voted to leave? As someone who voted remain I am really hacked off by people who cannot accept that other people might have a different opinion and ,right or wrong are entitled to it and if they get more votes than the other side, are entitled to enact that vote. Who are these people? Why should we listen to them? Virtue-signalling gone a step too far. Almost 13,000 students are studying courses related to renewable energy at Scotland’s universiti­es and colleges as the country “upskills” to tackle climate change, according to new research. Ireland and Wales. As we all know, both Northern Ireland and Wales, which specialise in media studies at their universiti­es, now have thriving TV and film industries.

1990s Media Studies – useless in 95% of cases; 2019 equivalent – Renewable Energy courses.

A great deal of the problem is the enormous “climate science” industry that has been created by universiti­es. It has been churning out graduates for near on two decades now, all of whom have a vested interest in competing for funding.

Perhaps some of them may solve the problem of Leading Edge Erosion (LEE). The speed the blades travel, rain, hail, salt induces coating failure. As early as two years for offshore, three to five years onshore. Require coatings to be repaired or the accept the loss of power efficiency. The amount of resin and glass particulat­e disturbed in the local area receives little or no attention. Had this failure occurred in any other industry the Green brigade would be all over it.

We could do with some doctors, teachers and nurses.

Pity these poor 13,000 misguided students didn’t embark on courses concentrat­ing on more basic understand­ing mathematic­s, physics, chemistry or engineerin­g rather than being greenwashe­d by global warming zealots.

Even the Greens’ founder, Otto Georg Schily, has declared Germany’s renewables policy an “economic, social and ecological disaster” because it forces the poorest to line the coffers of bloated energy companies.
