    Hmmm...
    We've got a lot of those wind turbines off the coast of Cumbria.

    I quite like them to be honest, and if there is free power to be had, then why not?

    But even the biggest only produce about three megawatts. This is usually stated as 'enough for 'x' thousand homes', but in reality three megawatts is one electric train.

    Propoganda?

    Reminds me of when the anti-vivisection people put up a stall in Newbury.

    I'm not keen on it myself, but when I saw two big posters of a dog that had been flattened midships by a car, and a cat that had been ripped in half by two mastiffs, it made me wonder. about propoganda.

    Of course, when I said this to the woman on the stall, I got the old "Excuse ME !!!!!!"
