England not windy enough, admits wind industry chief

England is not windy enough to justify building any more onshore wind turbines, the chief executive of wind industry trade body has admitted.

Hugh McNeal, who joined RenewableUK two months ago from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, insisted the industry could make the case for more onshore turbines in some parts of the UK, despite the withdrawal of subsidies.

But he said this would “almost certainly” not be in England, as the wind speeds were not high enough to make the projects economically viable without subsidy.

Shocked, Shocked I tell you.

Install one near MF's posterior or mouth. He farts so much that the turbine runs on overdrive mode by default.

Well he's an Harvard graduate and a historian. So he probably know's what he's talking about.

It only makes sense to put them over the sea, the wind is erratic over land.

Rather have a few modern gas fuelled power stations to be honest. The only pollution is some plant food.

Small modular nuclear plants, factory produced and buried in the ground outside towns and cities. Cheap. Safe. Whilst we get Fusion commercially viable by 2050.

The centre of the earth is already a nuclear power plant. Did a hole deep enough, only a 1-2km and you'll have useful steam pressure.

They've already spent millions of pounds for a trickle of tepid water....
