Via What happens when the great fantasies, like wind power or European Union, collide with reality? – Telegraph:

When we embark on a course of action which is unconsciously driven by wishful thinking, all may seem to go well for a time, in what may be called the “dream stage”. But because this make-believe can never be reconciled with reality, it leads to a “frustration stage” as things start to go wrong, prompting a more determined effort to keep the fantasy in being. As reality presses in, it leads to a “nightmare stage” as everything goes wrong, culminating in an “explosion into reality”, when the fantasy finally falls apart.

    When is someone in government going to stand up against the global warming religion? Bring electricity prices back to what they ought to be by removing green subsidies. We are crippling our economy.

    Listen to the skeptics!
