Daily Telegraph: Tilting at wind power
9 June 2005:
“Just then they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that rise from that plain. And no sooner did Don Quixote see them than he said to his squire, ‘Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless’.”
Four hundred years on, a new generation of windmills is rising up all over Britain, hulking giants to keep the lights on and the CO2 down. The £1.5billion London Array project, off the Essex coast, is the finest flowering of this policy, with backers Shell and E.On claiming that its 270 windmills could power a quarter of London’s homes. They were less keen to talk about the economics, since the green power generated from (dis)Array will cost more than twice as much as coal, and is not so much wind farming as subsidy farming.
The only real alternative to oil and gas is nuclear, and now the election is won, ministers have no excuse. As for the windmills, it’s time someone in Whitehall echoed Sancho Panza’s reply to his master: “What giants?”

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
