Wind Turbines are almost useless forms of power generation.
and
Imagine how much money they would have saved had they gave it up 100 years ago.
(I think the point is that wind turbines are vastly energy-expensive to make and maintain. Governments are using renewables politically for a range of reasons, but in terms of end-to-end life, the net energy-use reduction capabilities of many (most?) renewables schemes is, to say the least, suspect)
