19/09/08 - Windfarms are just inefficient
Published Date:
19 September 2008
In reply to Tom Kennedy's letter, it is indeed time to get real about wind farms.
They are an inefficient blot on the landscape. The Sunday Telegraph (14/09/08) suggests, when we look back in years to come, they will be described as one of the most incomprehensible blunders of our age. They will neither produce secure energy for the future, nor reduce CO2 emissions and we will continue to require just as many conventional power stations. A quote from The Wall Street Journal 11/9/08 says 'Wind power is clearly not reducing the dependence on imported fuel, contrary to the claims of its proponents. In fact the experience from Germany and Spain shows it is increasing the dependence of imported natural gas. And that's not energy security.'
