Sense on Wind Farms From the Duke of Edinburgh
Wind generation of electricity has its place, but it will never generate the large amount of electricity we need. They only work economically with heavy subsidies and when the wind blows. They also need back-up power plants for when the wind doesn’t blow.
On the front page of the Sunday Times, the Duke of Edinburgh is quoted about his opposition to the farms.
We would be much better using the subsidies we all pay with our electricity bills to insulate houses and other buildings, rather than waste it on uneconomic wind farms.

It seems to be working OK. The trouble is, it’s a small Samsung Netbook, which for my level of typing after the stroke is just too small.
