When you subscribe to a renewable energy provider, does that mean that you specifically agree to make your own personal sacrifice for climate change and pay the full cost of that energy including the cost of ROCs or FiTs in your own bill or does it just mean that you have been conned into believing that it is possible to only buy renewable energy and that you are happy to continue using the same proportion of fossil and nuclear energy as everyone else does?
Climate week sounds like a scam to make money for Renewables generators.

I have been wondering what the Chinese make of climate week considering the smog problems they've been having recently

This is an old article from the daily mail.
I've not looked at the sources of the article but there maybe a little of the truth in there.

No it is perfectly true. Lakes of toxic waste.

I haven't been to china for many years but I will be honest even 20 yrs ago the pollution there was unbearable for me, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

Shocking really
While looking on google getting carried away I came across something similar from late last year.

Ha that is rich coming from you you never answer a question or acknowledge anything that is a credit to wind energy.

You are only against wind to get money out of action groups and expenses for going to meetings up and down the country. Your business is making money out of objecting to wind farms.

This thread is about Climate Week and not about what you think about scams and such like. Climate week is supported by the Ramblers Association, that well known pro-wind group.

Aye well i followed the links through to the electricity providers page and worked out that they can save me a whopping £56 on my electricity and £47 on my gas in a year. Not bad at all, thats £1.98 a week more in my pocket....but they say for every customer signing up, they will - quote "For every household that switches, Ecotricity gives up to £50 to the Climate Week campaign." So that got me thinking..... where does this fifty knicker come from then? then the penny drops! The mugs that switch to this service are the ones paying the "up to £50" and then you realise....wait a minute! how come Ecotricity can sell me gas and electric at a lower price than the big six can? then the penny dropped again!...the more customers than sign up for this service, the more wind farms they can build with the income! Well i'm all for green renewable energy but not at the expense of covering my country with the abominable windfarms. There's enough wind farms around here thank you!

I'll try asking the question again, but in a simpler multiple choice format.

"When you subscribe to a renewable energy provider, does that mean that you specifically agree to make your own personal sacrifice for climate change and pay the full cost of that energy including the cost of ROCs or FiTs in your own bill?"

A. Yes
B. No

There are about nine blokes all over the roof and sides of my house right now adding solar panels. I am becoming a power station.

Are they on overtime then? seeing as you posted the reply at 22:15.........

Guess your house will be "Brimming" with electricity from now on then

You're the one assuming George Brims lives locally, or at least in the same timezone...if I recollect correctly from previous posts he is Stateside which would account for the number of folk working on his house at that time!
