Default Windmill nonsense.. Tilting at Wind mills

Nobody is suggesting generating 50% of electricity from wind farms.
At present prices the costs would be very high.

It is certainly worth bothering to get the percentage to the current
economic limit of 20%. Generation that is relatively cheap to build
and decommission and which has zero fuel cost is something to use
whenever possible.
