Funny you've mentioned that. Have a look here. Wind is well, ... a lot of wind It has been very cleverly marketed over the past 10 yrs though. It's all down to basic primary school maths though, like adding money . Like the 1L of E10 that takes 3L of crude oil to produce, or the very energy intensive and polluting process of manufacturing solar panels. That reminds me of the story of the bloke who keeps his fridge door open trying to cool down the room.
