    Britain has only just started, look forward to your electricity bills going up ten fold if Chris Huhne gets his way.

    According to the EBC news this morning, we have more offshore wind turbines than anywhere else in the world so I would postulate that your suggestion that Britain has only just started is a bit wide of the mark.

      However, Germany already has a total of 21,315 wind turbines installed compared to little over 3,000 in the UK.

      And hardly any of ours invested in the UK. Our wind turbine manufactures are closing down, if there are any left.

        The operative word here might be "offshore". Germany and other countries might well have more wind turbines, but most likely not the offshore variety.

        Sorry to be picky.

          I hope that supporters of windmills will be just as embarrassed as those that admitted they voted liebour in 1997.
          If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
