WIND power – more accurately wind impotence, since turbines operate at just 24% of capacity – is the curse of Scotland. “…the bill for wind energy by 2020 will cost consumers £120 billion. Yet generating the same amount of electricity from efficient gas-powered stations would cost only £13bn.” Paying over 9 times more for something than necessary is a proposition only a liberal Democrat could love. Self-styled propeller-head Barack Obama is the real flat-earther when it comes to wind power, still clinging to archaic technologies that were obsoleted two centuries ago.
