ASHEY-BASED FIRM PURE GREEN ENERGY ENTERS LIQUIDATION

Isle of Wight firm Pure Green Energy has announced that it has gone into liquidation.  Adverse market conditions have been blamed for the ‘difficult decision’ to cease trading as of 17:00 today (Thursday). Pure Green Energy has been operating across the Isle of Wight and the M4 corridor for the past 16 years. During that time it is said the firm has installed over 2,000 renewable projects, varying from large biomass systems to small domestic solar photovoltaic panels. The business’s sole director is John Fisher, who is 1 of the faces behind plans for a new cross-Solent ferry operator. In a statement, Pure Green Energy has said:

“We wish all our clients well and thank you for your past custom”.

If the director of a solar company cannot make money what chance has he got of making a success of this new electric ferry idea. I wonder how many deposits were taken from prospective Pure Green customers when the company was failing.

There is an answer, but people have been brainwashed to not see it.

Having millions of additional non indigenous people, who have huge often scattered amounts of offspring can NEVER help make us green. As ALL will need an eventual home, water, sewage, landfill, vehicle, energy usage, food, need medical care, extra schooling buildings etc

So voting Reform would have been the greenist thing to have done. Too late now.

The failures of this company are nothing to do with government initiatives nor adverse market conditions as they say, it was disastrous management and the failure of the directors. Their customers have in all probability been cheated.

That’s because they will be losing billions of pounds when

What is green about an EV that requires mining of several metals to produce the battery, what is green about the
recycling of the battery when it is no longer working, what is green about the extra rubber to produce the larger tyres which as they wear out produces more rubber particles which are are washed b y the rain into rivers and the sea. What is green about the extra damage the cars cause to the roads with there weight.

Just goes to show that islanders aren’t taken in by the hype of EV’s, let alone the totally prohibitive cost.

As for diesel, lets think about this. The rare resources that are needed for the batteries are mined using DIESEL diggers (well, those that aren’t using child labour). It then gets transported by DIESEL trucks to the manufacturing plant. Then onto a DIESEL powered ship to travel half way across the world where it is unloaded onto a DIESEL truck to the dealership. Chances are when it catches fire a DIESEL fire appliance will attend.

Just what part of that is eco friendly or green….

From another site.

Global Coal Production 2023

4,660 million tonnes – China
804 million tonnes – India
775 million tonnes – Indonesia
577 million tonnes – US

0.56 million tonnes – UK

In addition China currently imports more oil per year than the annual production of Saudi Arabia, the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and Nigeria, Africa’s largest producer, COMBINED

Predictably, ‘Just Stop Oil’ and their subsidiary ‘Just Stop Coal’ is nowhere to be seen in the world’s leading coal and oil producing and consuming Nation’s!

China is currently building over 300 new coal fired power stations a year and is forecast to still produce 35% of its electricity from coal in 2060!

This company was set up originally by Danny Fisher, ex High Sheriff, Director of IW NHS, with a string of dubious connections, incredibly rich individual, nothing will happen and the customer will lose out.Years ago they were pulled off a very large contract by South Wight Housing for incompetence. Looks like nothing changed.

How can a solar install company go under? There is very high demand for solar and as gas and oil go up, and it will go up even more, more and more people are installing solar. My yearly energy bill is 30% of what it was, my system will have paid for itself in 5 years time and will last for more than 25 years. And as a bonus, I still have power when there is a power cut (a feature you can have added). I do wish it was cheaper so more can have it fitted. It’s a no brainer. The faster the UK is energy independent the better. Don’t buy that new car, get solar. You’ll be glad you did.
