Although you are a hardy bunch you must be looking forward to spring and some dry days again.<br />It's taken me a while to work it out but I believe large scale wind farm technology is a huge con whose sole purpose is to make investment folk and speculator's rich. "Going Green" is the modern equivalent of the shares issue and the privatisation of "unprofitable" UK companies during the 1980s. Who did that actually benefit as most of our now profitable assets are owned by European competitors who couldn't give a monkeys about Britain and just want to squeeze us like an orange. It's all the same old spin game. It should be hydro and nuclear energy but you don't get a licence to print money with them. Recession is a great time to be an investor if you have a pile of cash handy and a gullible population that thinks that's the best way forward.
