Today our 4000 wind turbines are producing an output of nearly 2500 Megawatts, a fine achievement.
We only need another 30,000 of them to meet 50% of our energy needs.
Such a shame that Tim Yeo is not longer heading up the Climate Change and energy select committee, a great champion, and shareholder, in Big Green.

Another glorious day, the turbines are busy a slicing and a dicing bird life and generating 2,500 MW, need more wind today.

I do hope this is not going to be a post a day, as the first one was quite enough to tell us all we need to know about you.

Think of all the Norwegians and Danes losing their jobs if we packed up turbines, and poor Mrs Yeo having him home all day if he loses his Environment job because of cashback.

Eco City taxi for Mr Yeo!

It's obvious, Silver, you have never had a yogurt in a yurt. Unmissable.

It's sad that the UK isn't leading the technology. Given our windiness compared to most of the world, this should be a massive export industry for us. Oh well, I'm sure we'll get there eventually ..... just after everyone else!

UK needs up to 32 factories to build windfarm components, says report

Facilities to build offshore windfarms needed under current plans could create tens of thousands of jobs, finds Renewable UK

The last time I smoked a yogurt in a yurt, this badger came up and said " T.B. or not T.B."

Yes you right Martyn, no manufacturing anymore. Probably the same with wave technology
Our ex shipbuilders could make these turbines. Same thing really, long things with propellers at the end.
Mind you we have banks (corrupt) and one of the oldest democracies in the world (corrupt). And we have tourism in between the cold and the wet.
And we have some really big airports to bring in the immigrants.
Enough to drive you to yogurt.

Tides are predicable whereas wind is not.
I understand that caves are now the preferred dwelling for the discerning ( or was it destitute) eastern European immigrant.
