more than a mistake, it's a blunder
'The necessary investment for this Wind scenario would amount to about £124 billion. The same electricity demand could be met from 21.5 GW of combined cycle gas plants with a capital cost of £13 billion'
the current scenario will cost 10 times more in capital costs

Its a front for the oil and gas companies. A bit like starting a "charity" called "Flufy Bunnies and pretty birds", as a lobby group for hunting. (not that theres anything wrong with shooting wild animals, just not too many or there wont be any left for me to shoot).
I dont have a problem with lobby groups as long as they name themselves properly and state who funds them. My ficticious group should be called Smash Bang and Death to Wildlife. Funded exclusively by people with guns, gun makers and ammunition makers... not the tax payer.
And Global Warming Policy fondation sould be called "Keep buying Oil and Gas or our shareholdings will go down". Funded by Energy companies using money made from profits on the gas and petrol you bought but would just as hapilly bought clean electric as long as your car did 0-60 in under 8secs and 300 miles on a charge. And a bit from the taxpayer?Signed sealed and delivered.Comment

the gwpf is anti CAGW, as am I. there is also an anti wind argument on economic grounds
there is no hidden agenda. no one is trying to pass ideology off as science.
If there is a counter argument , lets hear it.
lets be clear, I am 100% against wind on the carbon argument
50% against wind on the economic argument
