Maybe I am biting too hard but the idea that wind power is low carbon [whatever that means] is utter rubbish. Each wind turbine is heavily subsidised by the taxpayer and is about the most inefficient way of generating power. It has to be backed by a switchable source [gas turbine/hydro/oil/coal/nuclear before one watt of electricity is produced. All the concrete/haulage of massive machinery/construction costs are huge contributers to the Greenie held belief of "Carbon Footprint" production. Recently the BWEA admitted their figures for power output had to be halved in the light of actual results!
Anyway Mankind adds barely 3% CO2 to Mother Nature's 97% so what effect will using wind power make to anything?
Anyway M you should stop breathing as 4% of your exhaled breath is CO2, yours and 6.5 billion other breathers.
