mister hazelnut,

I am certainly in favor of renewable energy, but do you realize how many lies there are published about windenergy?
I am not a technician but if you read what is published on, for exemple : http://www.wind-energie-halkema.org/vijf2.html ,or if you prefer spanish : http://www.energia-eolica-toda-la-verdad.com/  ,I wonder if you will still be fulminating against me.
apart from a lot of risky technical disadvantages, the main thing is, that more conventional powerstations are needed to compensate the fluctuations in energyproduction by windmills.
these fluctuations occur all the time and are obvious because the wind doesn't always blow as we all know.
in germany they are busy building carbonfuelled powerstations together with windmillparks, in Ascot a thermal station is planned for the same reason.
with all the extra CO2 that produces, there is only more pollution created!
but people are not informed about this, because there is too much money involved, too much profit to make!
