Why windfarms won`t work
Friday, 6th February 2009
The recent cold weather highlights the lunacy of Britain being dependent on renewable energy.
As temperatures drop to to minus degrees and people use more and more energy, windfarms across the country are keeping resolutely still.
UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Godfrey Bloom said the recent weather "emphasises the lunacy of this government and the EU's renewable energy targets."
"At a time of maximum energy output the so-called future of our energy supply is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.
"And with the recession biting as much as the freezing temperatures what people need is a cheap, reliable source of energy rather than fields of windmills which aren't consistent."
