Why Tim Yeo is Really Upset About Green Cuts
Guido’s old adversary Tim Yeo has been flying the green flag once again this morning, laying into George Osborne for failing to back renewable energy. Yeo sided with Energy Secretary Ed Davey in his dispute with the Treasury: ”They are working particularly to target some Conservative backbenchers, pursuing a policy designed to prove that they are not going to get into so-called costly green initiatives. It is extraordinary.”
Rather more extraordinary is the vast amount of money Tim rakes in from his personal investments in green companies. In the past twelve months Yeo has made over £60k as chairman of TMO Renewables, a company which develops and supplies technology for second generation biofuels. He is also chair of AFC Energy, an alkaline fuel cell technology that pays him over £50k per year. Guido has visited this before:
Given that Yeo makes over £100,000 each year from private green investments, using his role to lobby on behalf of the industry for subsidies represents a serious conflict of interest. This is the Chairman of the Energy Select Committee. Replace the words “green” with “oil”…
Climate change is just a scam and way of collecting more tax from taxpayers.
Fuel is still running out tho… We need new options to replace fossil fuel
Rich, i would stick to trying to draw “cartoons” if i were you
…or not.
*Snork*
Fuck green energy. Fuck recycling’
YEo is a grade 1 cwunt.
Anyone been in the Olimpics traffic? That is about aS GREEN as a coal burning power station on ‘roids
was in a taxi this morning which went up a super hoops Olympics lane – driver was swearing like an Irishman as he picked up a nice fine. He ll need an extra shift down at Firestation to cover that.
I produce all the methane I need by eating mung beans.
Fuel is not running out, More is being discovered than is being used. There’s still plenty of coal, discovered oil reserves are increasing and fracking gas is promising cheap fuel for a generation. The CAGW scam has so been bought into by idiot politicians that we are consigning ourselves to a future where poverty is universal.
The politicians are not idiots, however they imagine we are.
AGW theory does not stand serious scrutiny by anyone with even a passing knowledge of physics. Which is why, instead of promoting the discredited theory using valid science, they use scare tactics and soviet era brainwashing of children, to promote it.
The climate computer models are similarly easily falsified. Which is why they are desperate you are not allowed to see how they “work”.
AGW is all over the Physics GCSE along with Tectonics (shurley Geology), nuclear dosage, mobile radiation, nuclear waste. Funny I thought Physics was about Mechanics, Dynamics, Statics, Electromagnetism, Optics, Thermodynamics, Heat and Light and lots of maths? It was in the 1960s for GCE Physics!
Where’s the evidence that fuel is “running out”? Put up or shut up.
Even Monbiot has admitted that the “Peak oil” scare has not happened. According to the “The oil is running out” alarmists in 2002 – 2003 when I first heard of it, we should have had a serious depletion in supply by 2010 with oil prices at 200 – 400 dollars per barrel by now.
Oil priced in gold has fallen.
No it isn’t!
Not running out at all. There’s more coal than you can shake a hairy stick at and fracking has now made the US of A totaly energy independant. only in the Eurpo La La land are people beating themselves up with windmills and PV panels.
Even Eco Canada has pulled out of Kyoto as it is targeting the wrong pollutatants.
Burn MPs
+650
+ 69 million……
But have to ensure proper 120% filters are in place to ensure that none of evil MP’s pollution discharges as a result are allowed to leach back into our atmosphere to contaminate future generations………
The only think that’s running out is the talent of cartoonists.
Bent as a 9 Bob note.
There is a new peer reviewed paper out almost every week these days which disputes the cAGW nonsense, so these eco zealots should get up to date with the science.
There is also a brilliant deconstruction of the “97% of scientists agree” lie here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/18/about-that-overwhelming-98-number-of-scientists-consensus/
And there has been another dendrochronology based reconstruction paper which refutes Mann’s ‘hockey stick’ described here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/17/another-paper-refutes-the-mann-made-hockey-stick-mwp-was-1c-warmer-than-current-temperatures/
They should give up. There is nothing unprecedented about the current earth temperature.
Every day, the sun shines on the earth, making it nice and warm.
This is a complete lie, propagated by the Nasty Party & we have a divine duty to expose such dis-information through our domination of the airwaves, which are exclusively ours for ever more & we cannot be assailed by anyone
All of these lie’s were deliberately started in 1979 & we will continue to broadcast this fact to deflect attention away from our own medacious manipulation of the masses which is fully endorsed by the ConsLieLaborLibDems Alliance
Is George Osborne still in post? Not for long though – bye bye Gideon. Vince is next in line as Chancellor I bet.
Look you rabid little Englanders – do you not relaise how much money is invested in Green Industries by the BBC Pension fund?
If the gree lobby fails to keep the subsidies for our useless technology then all those luvvies at the BBC will not have their massive pensions at 50.
And I wont be able to take over from Chris Patten.
Get it?
To all single mothers out there impregnated by a former cabinet minister, I say: Yo!

She probably expect Yeo to marry her. A bastard and an idiot – a perfect combination.
I spent my whole career calling blacks “ni*gers”. And nobody knew for years that I got my black maid pregnant. She gave me some goood lovin’. Yeee haaw!
Where are the MILFs?
MILF = Males I’d like to Fcuk !!
I have decided that I shall sack all the hypocrites in my government.
Let sunshine win the day.
I am thinking of introducing a tax on sunshine
To go with the one on air.
Hot air is cheaper, though.
We expect your resignation imminently.
I’m going sledding in the arctic with huskies.
Sledging dear – SLEDGING! – it’s when your anal glands are infected and full of pus and you keep dragging your arse on the ground to ease them – bit like you really
Won’t have much of government left, then!
So what’s new?
I’m going to have to charge the taxpayer again for a green laptop, my pink one was a Christmas present to my grand-daughter! – Still it’s only money and you’re all in it together aren’t you?
I thought MPs were supposed to behard working on behalf of their constituents, were does Yeo-Yeo find the time with all these extra addons, I do hope that his income doesn’t go into a private company
When was the last time anyone wearing a bow tie on TV was doing so in an unironic manner?
Careful!
He asked the female head of the prison service live on TV Are you a good screw?
Did he get his answer?
Not live on air….
A Knotty-Hairy problem, surely the politicos realise what prize tits they appear to the general population
That’s missing the point. Cameron promised it would rise. Just like he promised a referendum. Promised to curtail immigration. Promised to allow recall of corrupt MPs. Promised to sack any of his MPs who are found guilty of expenses fraud. Promised to cut number of SpAds.
I’m curious about this “there’s no money left” thing. Since entering Number 10, Camoron’s given more than £30billion to the EU, he’s burned £22billion on foreign aid (to countries that are nuclear powers and are planning moon-shots), he’s hoping to splash £32billion on a railway that no-one wants or needs, and £1.8billion on the government email spying system (that won’t work at all, and which he opposed when in opposition).
No money left? Don’t make me laugh!
Do you really think replicant Dave calls the shots around here?
You mean either –
REPTILE
or
REPLICANT DNA
or
BOTH
It’s the big nasty LimpDims who are making us act like witless socialist cocks. We try to be sensible, but they throw bags of lentils at us.
To me, a replicant is an artificial person created to carry out a specific function by fulfilling the programmed agenda of the unit’s creator. Too close to home even for a fan of “Blade Runner”!
The money’s all gone. That’s funded by selling the countries’ children.
Couldn’t they have been sold to a country far far away?
Only disASDAs seems filled with out of control children.
Choose a better supermarket.
And he added another £2b to the Olympics budget and spent a few billion on his personal liberation adventure in Libya.
you missed £30 million for a new computer for the met office
You’ve left out another the LONDON Olympic Games especially when hands are outsretched is they will be “can we have some more please”
He is very unusual for any politician of any party by being totally Consistent
in not carrying out ANY of his Cast Iron Guarantee’s ……
What else could you ask & pay for 10 times over then…….????
It just looks like cast iron but made of rubber, can
be bent anyway you like.

Time for a big clear out I think.
How many will be left?
Move along, nothing in this at all.
Politician uses position to advance favoured policies…?
Politician makes money from contacts ….?
Politician makes money by using position to help himself and friends to benefit from political policy…..?
Mmmmmmmmm, well, their might just be a teeny weeny ethical problem, but never mind we all know that politicians are upright, morally correct, altruistic people who all have our best interests at heart.
Don’t they?
Schiesse, quelle surprise, scandal.
Never mind, we deserve these morally deficient tossers, we did vote for them.
Scheisse
Mein Gott in Himmel!!! Vot ist zis??!!
Tvice in zer selbe morgan! Unt now vee hav zer – ‘ow you say? – up-sending of zer Glorious Grün Scam!!!
Shouldn’t ‘morgen’ have a capital M?
As in Captain?
“We did vote for them.”
I didn’t.
We did’nt as our Vote’s were all manipulated for US by the ConsLieLaborLibDems Evil Empire Alliance all under the personal control of His Serene Insincere Hollowness The Ultimate Master of Masters The St. Very Toxic Tony of Grab all of the Money from Anywhere & He who walks on Water……
In general an MP reflects the ideals, morals etc of their constituents who vote for them. Does a dishonest person vote for an upright, honest and idealist person?
That’s why decent people no longer vote as the choice is usually between a queer, a crook and a moron.
Universal suffrage is to blame. Non tax payers, including all those employed by the public purse, should not be allowed to vote.
Does an honest person vote for a crøøk, qu eer or møron?
Second at a post. Apparently it is ok to say fuck but the others are off limits.
Yeo is yet another useless nest-feathering MP. This hopeless moron has done precisely zero for his unfortunate Suffolk constituents, and now has the brass neck to promote policies (which also operate to his direct financial benefit) which will make us poorer.
This is not a minor case of conflict of interests; it is an example of malfeasance on a massive scale by this crook.
I am going to sack all the hypocrites in my government. Honest.
If you need some emergency MP’s give me a call. I can deliver for £8.20 an hour all up. They will have no expenses and will have to pay for their own uniform and CRB check (not that they need that to be an MP)
The only thing wrong with them is that they will have no real world experience …. oh wait.
He is a fatuous little prat, but on the plus side he’s got a small majority and he’s 67, so if he does run in the next election (which is doubtful), he’ll probably lose.
I agree with your description of the man. The trouble is he’ll retire with his pile augmented with a MP’s pension – all paid for by us. I hope I’ll live long enough to read his obit.
especially as most really fed up UK electors, are now growing balls & straight spines
to vote UKIP.COM…….in vast numbers……
and of course the ConsLieLaborLibDems Evil Alliance don’t want to even acknowledge the elephant in the room……as dictated by there Grand Master they all worship openly His Holliness St. Toxic Tony…..
La la la la la la la la.
Be careful , someone from somewhere, will invite you to go for a walk in the woods,
for uttering the real truth & that will have an immediate terminal effect on your health,
The Evil Empire Alliance has its eyes & ears everywhere 25/7…….369 days a Year..
Dont say you were not informed…….!!
Shouldn’t there be a n in cuts?
Please spell morality without the F
Labour, Tory, Liberal or whatever hue these crimminals purport to wear makes little difference.
The British people, born servile, love to be shat upon and, believe me, these twats are more than happy to do that for you.
God save the Queen, eh?
Cut all the green scam money for building soon-to-be-rusty, white and whirly, noisy, bird killing, inefficient, useless for energy production, scenery damaging, or on-your-roof-and-posy, useless show-offy, mini WINDMILLS! People are ‘farming’ these monstrosities on green field sites to get the subsidies. Our children and grandchildren will be contributing to charities set up to remove these blots on the landscape. They have enormous concrete bases which will be hellish difficult to break up and cart away. They weigh tons, and use up tons of otherwise useful steel and whatnot. THINKS… who else told us that everyone should work together to build a windmill… Oink oink…

“Replace the words “green” with “oil””
A pretty fair summary of government policy.
” Guido has visited this before:”
No dead horse left unflogged
Labour’s energy policy.

Why are MPs also chairs and members of boards outside Parliament this little practice should be banned or the MP removed from his because they are not working hard enough on what they should be working on which is helping the people who put them there in the first place.

Agreed and it should also ban MPs discussing union matters as well
LOL LOL LOL LOL ….. ha ha ha………ROFRLMFHO 650 times……
You can always tell someone who has been through the totally misleading

So why did the BBC allow him advertorial space today for his personal interests?
Thats what we Do……..!!!
But you pay for this biased broadcasting company crap 24/7
OR
Else a criminal record………
its the unique way we extort your MONEY…….and all legal……
The legacy energy industries of yesterday are a threat to our way of life.
Expensive, useless, and polically acceptable, windmills and other ventures make vast profits for us, our families, and our friends.
Our decision is final.
It is time for the rest to pay.
Any suggestion of corruption will be investigated by the police and the accusers eliminated in the public interest.

Why the heck were the BBC paying Diane Abbott £280 per hour for appearing on “This Week”?
She barely had the intellect to plonk a dollop of mayonnaise onto a burger for minimum wage.
If these green fuels are the bees knees then they do not need any taxpayer funded subsidies.
It is as simple as that.
A good investment is a good investment on its own merits.
There’s probably 500 years left at least, one field in Russia has enough gas for the whole globe for 100 years, by which time we will be colonizing the outer planets moons and the inner planets and mining asteroids in our synthetic bodies.
