Matt Ridley has a piece in The Rational Optimist which takes on the utter stupidity of subsidizing the windmill as a source of renewable energy... See it here
"...the public is slowly awakening to the fact that wind farms may not be
saving anything at all in terms of fossil fuels burnt and CO2 emitted.
That's mainly because the wind farms' erratic production force
fossil-fuel power plants, which are needed to back them up when wind is
not optimal, to spend much more fuel working in stop-and-go mode.." the rest is here
Oh, oh ...14,000 abandoned wind turbines here
Unreliable solar and wind energy could trigger catastrophic blackouts. See here
Another winning pick by your friendly government /sarc
Let those who want them pay for them....
Bats and birds. RIP.
