Dear #Minister #Davey
Dear Minister Davey,
We as free people must not pull back from seeking the truth and consistency in any plans concerning our race, the planet and its species.
If we look at the world, we are all sharing it as the whole, the one, and, at present, there is no other.
The bottom line is, you cannot get off.
It is each and everyone's responsibility to ensure that industry, Governments and corporate's do not destroy the environment and species any more.
There are no excuses for the wanton destruction of the planet, it's species and habitats to date.
You/we/I have only to look to see the massive environmental damage that big companies and governments have already created with their insatiable greed and their need for cash, control of people, energy and resources.
The truth is they must be stopped from destroying any further.
Alternative energy is not a fantasy, there is an inexhaustible amount of information readily available.
Conservation of energy must also be fully realized, utilized and practiced.
Do not be fooled into thinking bio fuels, or hydro electric dams are an answer.
They serve no sustainable purpose, resulting once again in the destruction of habitats and the displacement of wildlife and indigenous people's.
As a race, we must not allow any to destroy our environment.
We must not allow corporate, industry, or regimes to force us to be separated from interacting with our environment.
Nuclear power is a demon seed with nuclear waste having a half life of 25,000 years.
This means that it will still be 100% toxic to all forms of cellular life in 25,000 years time.
Chernobyl in Russia and Fukushima (a curse to catch attention) in Japan have shown that no nuclear power plants are 100% safe, and once an accident happens, the species and environmental impact is both far reaching and devastating.
Chernobyl and Fukushima must be taken as direct reasons for discontinuing the use of atomic energy,
People must pluck the sickness of greed and corruption from their Nations
You only get one chance, make that chance, one of a future for all People, species and planet.
People must expose and oppose tyrants, regimes and oppressors and those who commit crimes against peace, genocide, and ecocide. Everyone is on the same Planet, we need to acknowledge that we are also on the same page in our History and Future.
Kind regards,
Radfax
United Kingdom

Wind farms paid not to generate
East Anglian Daily Times Saturday, June 11, 2011 www.eadt.co.uk
Wind farms paid not to generate
THE National Grid has paid wind farms in the recent past not to generate power on very windy days, an executive has admitted - a move attacked by a senior MP as “lunacy”.
Nick Winser, National Grid’s UK executive director, said wind farms had been paid not to generate power on occasions in common with other forms of energy such as gas, coal and nuclear plants.
“That has been happening for the last 21 years, that is the way that the market has existed for that period,” he told members of the Commons select committee on energy
and climate change.
“There is built into the market arrangement, there is a compensation where you can’t generate because of a lack of transmission infrastructure. “We have worked very hard to minimise those amounts by investing sensibly but vigorously in the transmission infrastructure and thoseamounts of money have been managed very, very vigorously
over the 20 years.” He added that it was “right” ultimately that an economic balance was struck
between building a “completely unconstrained” transmission system and occasionally paying generators not to run at times when there was not enough transmission capability.
“That is an economic balance that should be struck and is struck,” he told MPs.
But the admission was attacked by Tim Yeo MP, a former Conservative Environment Minister and chairman of the select committee. “Would you not agree that the public might think that to pay off-shore wind farms a huge extra subsidy to make it worthwhile generating and then to pay them again, if it is too windy, to pay them not to generate, is a lunacy which borders on the Common Agricultural Policy?” he told Mr Winser. Mr Winser repeated that National Grid was “vigorously” tackling this to make sure that low carbon “mega watts” can be used as much as possible. In evidence to the committee on the UK energy supply, Mr Winser also told MPs that “balancing” the system to deal with the intermittent nature of some renewable energy sources such as wind power would have a “profound effect” on the system. He said making sure that there were back up systems that came into force to deal with the intermittent energy sources would cost more. He said a number of measures were being examined to minimise this cost including new “inter connections” with Europe, managing demand and potentially greater
use of energy storage. He said there were “binding environmental targets” for the UK and the
National Grid was playing its part in trying to achieve these targets. Friends of the Earth energy campaigner Paul Steedman said: “The UK could be powering itself using the sun, wind and waves but we’re squandering renewable energy instead of making the most of it. “Energy market rules are so ludicrous that we are paying for clean, green energy that we want - and then not using it. “We should be taking renewable energy as our first priority and leaving polluting
alternatives behind.”
