Just while we are discussing renewable energy.

I find this very interesting;

That is pretty awesome!

As some one in the UK who grew up with them at the end of a field near me, I, personally, love them.

They may be why I am into big engineering.

I understand MKs concerns, here is an interesting article about the cost of subsidies shortly being less than nuclear

UK offshore wind power subsidies set to drop below nuclear - Siemens| Reuters

And a very good Video by Tom Scott about the problem of energy storage in renewable energy.. and how we are combating it.

I live in the UK and I'm not pleased.

These ******* windmills are massively subsidised - so called "green" incentives add, on average, over £100 to each household energy bill and this is likely to rise to a great deal more in the next few years.

Scotland, where I live, is plastered with the hideous things, ruining the countryside, making electricity when we don't want it and often not when we do.

We aren't a leader in the technology to make the stupid things, Dong is. We're just the mugs who pay for them.

I am curious. Does anyone else see the skull shaped cloud behind the wind towers?
