So much for all those green jobs!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian is reporting that the company building the Green Volt floating wind farm off the Scottish coast wants to buy the wind turbines from Mingyang, China\u2019s biggest offshore wind company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the full story here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 400 MW project will supply power deliver electricity to oil and gas platforms, replacing power currently generated by gas and diesel turbines, as well as supplying the UK grid at the obscenely high, guaranteed price of \u00a3201.97\/MWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An industry source said the UK did not currently have the heavy manufacturing capability to produce the turbines domestically. \u201cThey have tried to get European manufacturers to no avail,\u201d the source said of Green Volt\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenty of green jobs then, but in China, not here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
