don't get me started on wind turbines.wildly inefficent with overblown claims on the power they produce.

they're threatening to stick 8 in just behind my new houseI'm a bit fucked off with them too, especially after reading up on just how much the push to install them is based on the money that the powerplant owners make from governmental cash flow. Don't get me wrong, I do think they can work, but the margin to do so is so narrow at the moment that this massive push is only going to end in tears.

This country has a serious power shortage resulting in constant supply problemsand power cuts.
Now I hear the French are here to possibly create a wind farm up the coast where the wind howls almost constantly.
I cannot see how windfarms will solve this massive problem.
See Thor's reply for the reason.
They are tree-huggers' solutions that in reality are relatively inefficient.
