The Tides of Wind power strike back in Portugal ?

Renewable producers face repaying €140m ($147.96)

filed:  February 22, 2017 • Portugal
Renewables producers will have to repay any financial support received in addition to the feed-in tariff to the national electricity system, according to a decree published by the industry ministry.

The principle of recouping the additional payments, which the government has estimated at around €140 million, was included in the 2017 budget, approved by Portugal’s parliament in December 2016.

The measure aims to minimise annual electricity price rises agreed by the previous government with international creditors in order to eliminate Portugal’s €5 billion electricity deficit.

A deficit accrued because consumer prices did not reflect all the costs of electricity generation, including subsidies to producers.

By the way, for international investors, having America in debt is a good thing.

Yes Jim, and though our lack of manufacturing that contributes (by non-existence) less CO² in Making Wind Turbines for the U.S.A. and other nations are predominantly made in China with its new found method of enjoying capitalism under communist control, with our past governments blessings. I call this displaced CO² from our nation to other nations such as China. Some air pollution in some of their cities is now 28x that of the U.S. requirements, and more than 14x their own legal limitations. The pollution still is being created, just we do not have the jobs or the income, but do enjoy being viewed as Greener. Now the beef and food of this nation is the next attack......... Cow Pharts and such....... I wonder what they eat in the Elite Clouds of Politics.

A little more about China screwing America.  If you have a product like a pocket knife and want to send it to China , the least it will cost is about $23 USD (First class) just to ship it over there.  If the Chinese  want to send you a pocket knife, they can send you 3 different packages and include 3 brand new pocket knives for this same $23.  

 Who worked up this virtually free international shipping deal for them ?????????????

And this is how it started in Germany.... The Democracy of the people Hijacked by Media propaganda.

Controlling “exactly what people think” is the job of the media, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski boldly declared Wednesday morning.


While discussing President Trump’s entreaties to the American people to remain skeptical of the press, Bzezinski worried that if the economy turns south, Americans may end up trusting him over the media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels

Goebbels, who aspired to be an author, obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Heidelberg in 1921. He joined the Nazi Party in 1924, and worked with Gregor Strasser in their northern branch. He was appointed as Gauleiter (district leader) for Berlin in 1926, where he began to take an interest in the use of propaganda to promote the party and its programme. After the Nazi Seizure of Power in 1933, Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry quickly gained and exerted controlling supervision over the news media, arts, and information in Germany. He was particularly adept at using the relatively new media of radio and film for propaganda purposes. Topics for party propaganda included antisemitism, attacks on the Christian churches, and (after the start of the Second World War) attempting to shape morale.

In 1943, Goebbels began to pressure Hitler to introduce measures that would produce "total war", including closing businesses not essential to the war effort, conscripting women into the labour force, and enlisting men in previously exempt occupations into the Wehrmacht. Hitler finally appointed him as Reich Plenipotentiary for Total War on 23 July 1944, whereby Goebbels undertook largely unsuccessful measures to increase the number of people available for armaments production and the Wehrmacht.

Everyone should think of America as the single biggest and best stock available to investors across the world. And like any Stock, once you have enough shares you get to influence or run the company. A pool of International investors own most of this stock.  This is also why America is being saddled with these digesting wind turbines, it makes money for this criminal empire. Taxpayers funds are being funneled out of our country. In a way, it is a money laundering scam enriching Titian’s of industry. We get a putrid product, they get our money.  In addition global financial interests really calling the shots because they are holding and hording the world’s wealth. People like Obama the schmoozer, are not really in control. He is and was a pitchman for industry.  Does China or should I say several very wealthy investors from China, have a say in what happens here in America..................YES.  This hidden list includes people from other counties as well and it may be the real source of the anti Trump propaganda.

Based on the following, it would appear that Energias de Portugal, the parent of EDP Renewables (the company that wants to destroy The County with wind blight), is a subsidiary of "China Three Gorges Corporation", the Communist China state owned power company.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
