The problem with the green energy twins, wind and solar, is that they are unionised.
The solar panels won’t work at night, or when it is rainy or cloudy, and they rarely work a full eight-hour day. The wind turbines will down tools at every drop of the wind, and they also refuse to work in high winds. And like every closed shop, they demand pay rates far beyond their market value. No one has a solution to these restrictive green work practices. Viv Forbes, Rosewood,Qld, Australia
