It was announced in today's paper that our wind farm has been scrapped owing to it not being cost effective.   :dunno:  The local maffia wins every time! 


bloody busy bodies.

Wind farms aren't cost effective though, Clive, without the subsidies, no-one would be building them.

I'm not sure about that - a wind farm in Alberta produces all the electricity used by the Calgary rail system... pretty nice to use "green" energy in the home of oil.

I think the subsidy in the UK is about 35%, Sam.
