Installed doesn't mean producing electricity...

They are worried about rising electricity costs so they want to use a technology that makes electricity even more expensive (and hurts the poorest among us, like single mothers and those out of work, for example, most of all.)

"Killing Chinese people"
We were sent a link to this blog by a supporter in Yorkshire...
The text in green below is a quote:
"The Great Green Hope, power from garden ornaments, turns out to be more polluting than those coal fired power stations they keep trying to sabotage. Of course, that's okay because they aren't polluting here."

This links to a Daily Mail article as well, about the mining of rare earths in China - we linked to it ourselves previously.
We would like to add a reminder too of the fact that in China some years ago, when some villagers protested against a wind power station, the police opened fire on them and several protesters were killed. Had they been protesting against a nuclear or coal powered power station, there would have been a world-wide uproar, of course.
