The joy of that national institution Polly Toynbee, the Guardian columnist, is that she is so wrongheaded about everything that, if one is in two minds about any issue, one has only to consult her view to know that the opposite must be true.
Her latest outburst, headed “Nimbys can’t be allowed to put a block on wind farms”, rages against local councils that vote against the turbines we need to save the planet. Miss Toynbee clearly knows nothing about windpower, as she demonstrates by her claim that the 271 turbines Shell wants to build in the Thames estuary will “deliver 1,000 megawatts” of electricity, “enough to power a quarter of all London’s homes”.
They will do nothing of the kind. Shell will be very lucky to get an average of 300 megawatts from its giant wind factory. But even then someone will have to build another conventional power station, kept permanently running, ready to step in when the turbines decide not to turn. And since Miss Toynbee is, of course, passionately opposed to nuclear power, that means that whatever provides the backup will virtually negate any CO2 savings made by the windfarm.
“Every time I see those great white wings turning on the horizon,” intones the poet Toynbee, “it makes my spirits soar.” How easy it is to be a green, so long as one is careful to avoid looking at the facts.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. 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.
