Ill wind

摘要

Some readers disagreed with The Engineer's online article 'The wind knocked out of our sails' (29 February), which discussed calls for wind energy subsidies to be cut » If wind farms are so good, cost effective and efficient -remove the government feed-in tariff completely and see how many start-up businesses sprout up to bribe farmers into erecting them on their land. I think you will find that no one will erect them, because they are not cost effective.They are only cost effective because of subsidies imposed to meet EU metrics.
