There’s one thing though that just drives me nuts and that is this whole windturbine nonsense. Put aside the fact that they are destroying some of the most beautiful parts of the UK with wind farms; they just don’t make economic sense. There are over 2000 of them in the UK now and they contribute less than 1% of the country’s demand at a cost per megawatt double that for coal, gas or nuclear generated electricity.

The UK Government, and many other equally short sighted European ones, say that these windturbines will account for as much as 32% of the total demand by 2020. This means that two windturbines will have to be comissioned every single day between now and then – Current build rate is apparently less than one per week during good weather months.

There’s some green agenda political correctless gone mad and Governments across the world need to stand up straight and show some leadership here, now,  before it’s too late. People must wake up and realise that nuclear power does NOT equal nuclear weapons.

If I had to make a choice, I’d rather a nuclear power station on my doorstep to a 10,000 windturbine wind farm anyday.

What about you?
