A report mentioned in the Guardian says that wind power is the most expensive method of producing no carbon energy. OK, not much of a surprise in that, those like me who are funded by Exxon Mobil have had the talking points for years. What really amused me was this:
Jim Footner of
Greenpeace said the German study would inevitably be used by opponents
of wind power as an argument against further investment. But he
remained confident that wind power was the best option for Britain’s
energy needs.
"You
can’t energy-efficiency your way out of climate change," he said. "You
need to have clean forms of energy generation, and wind power is the
technology that’s competitive, current and it’s the one that’s
available now."
A slightly odd statement don’t you think? Especially as we get 23% of our current electricity from the source that he dare not name….nuclear.
