Green job anyone?

turbine on fire

Remember our politicians touting that bird mincers wind turbines would enable a plentiful supply of green jobs. Well if you’ve got one, expect to have to find a new one shortly, well away from anything green.

Vestas Wind Systems, the largest manufacturer of wind turbines is now feeling the crunch in the real world of economics.

Last month, the company announced it would lay off 2,335 people and it has already slashed its 2012 earnings forecasts twice.

Then again if you were stupid enough to believe in this scam. Tough. I certainly won’t weep for those who have jumped onto the green gravy train, only to find the wheels have finally fallen off. We all have choices. Some of us see, that If it looks to good to be true, then you can bet your arse that you’re going to lose out. FE’s simple law of life.

Think of a number from 1 to 10


Multiply that number by 9


If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together
Now subtract 5

(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)


Think of a country that starts with that letter


Remember the last letter of the name of that country


Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter
