UK: 100 Tories revolt over wind farms

101 Tory MPs demand that the £400 million-a-year subsidies paid to the “inefficient” onshore wind turbine industry be “dramatically cut”. Critics say wind energy is undependable (unlike politicians, wind doesn’t blow constantly), wind farms are unsightly and are driving up energy bills during already difficult economic times. Guess they’re tired of ponying up blood money to run the A/C at Al Gore’s mansion.
