I think this might be another clayton plan to keep people happy. Couple of years ago the greenies kicked a stink in France because of the planning of a super phoenix plant in Britanny I think. The EDF (power company) spent billions building them a wind farm next door, that they knew wouldn't work btw, but it looked really pretty on the glossy brochure. That kept them quiet, they built the plant and offset the wind farm cost by selling electricity in only a couple of years. So now they have a lot of white propellers that do f'all. But hey it looks good.
