The other day the Reading M4 wind turbine was turning and yet all the local chimney outputs were steaming vertically. Does this mean they have to Use electricity to keep the blades moving [thereby inferring it is always producing electrical power?] or am I just Not in awe of a system that costs more per kilowatt/hour to run than any other type of generator, needs huge amounts of concrete/steel and kills migrating birds and endangered species of bats. The only reason they are built is because of the massive Green subsidies from Government and EU sources. And the Greenie hype about non existent man made global warming/climate change.

At least Mr Fox gets regular blade kill deposits!
