Install one near a Brexiters mouth. There's so much hot air that the turbine runs on overdrive mode by default.

FTFY

Plenty of room in Scotland. Typically, the really windy places are not where people want to live

So what you're saying is, that means all of Scotland...

They just need to build them taller. Jet stream is up there somewhere.

Or hang them from the clouds

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.

Never mind eh?

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.

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.
