P: We are going to remove subsidies on wind turbines. The technology is now established so I'm sure prices have come down. And if the turbines are all you claim them to be you should be able to make a profit.
WF: Remove the subsidies? Are you mad? It's not about making a profit, it's about making a lot of money. You'll be suggesting we should work for a living next!
P: Possibly
WF: I only set up this company because you promised to hand over wads of cash, regularly for ever. It was like printing money. Now you are talking about changing the rules!!
P: Well I realise you might make less money, but it will still be a good business surely? I mean, people always need electricity.
WF: You really don't understand do you? These bloody things are useless, they don't generate anything like the amount of power we claim. That's just to get the subsidies, make it seem like a good deal. Think of our claims as your manifesto. It's what people want to hear so you say it. You know you can't possibly deliver what you say!
P: Ah yes, I see. Perhaps there is some arrangement we could come to.
