David Cameron to Cap Wind Farms

Turbines bad - Fracking good

The poor folk on the Somerset Levels are still mopping up - and Cameron demonstrates popular and misguided opportunism to prevent wind turbines, a key technology to combat climate change. Wind turbines in recent months have generated in excess of 10% of the UKs electricity needs, and  is one of the lowest cost power generating systems currently available, comparable without subsidies to European New Nuclear and Close Cycle Gas Turbines. Yet full burn ahead, plus huge tax payer subsidies for fracking, with unknown capacity and costs, but established harmful impacts on ground water, CO2 emissions and terrain. Vote Blue Go nowhere and certainly not Green.
