Alternative Energy in Britain: All Wind and No Farm - Ecoworldly - 11 Aug 08
"Two thirds of the UK Government’s climate change targets have been missed, and it’s renewable energy targets look set to join that list. People want digital TV recorders, plug-in hybrid vehicles, wide-screen TV’s and a multitude of other devices which contribute towards increasing energy demands. Unfortunately they don’t want nuclear power, dirty coal fired power stations, wind turbines, off-shore tidal barrages, or any other form of energy production - unless it is situated somewhere else.
Protestors often like to point out that each individual wind farm will have an insignificant impact on energy production and CO2 reductions. Sadly, this is an often used argument in environmental discussions - cars only contribute to 6% of Britain’s CO2 output, so let’s leave those alone, aviation only 8%, so let’s forget that, and so on and so forth."
