All,
Wandering around the local shed today I notice that they have started
doing wind turbines for £1500 inc. installation and VAT.

The bumf says the following:

1) The turbine generates (up to) 1kW
2) It will save me (up to) 30% of my electricity bill
3) Planning permission is (probably) not needed - it equates it with a
satellite dish.
4) The UK Government will (probably) stump up 30% of the cost.
5) It will pay for itself in (around) 7-12 years.


Great, one of the first of many ill-conceived green band wagon commercial
money spinners, preying on those with less than adequate IQs. Net effect:
further degradation of the aesthetics of our island and bugger all
contribution to our carbon foot print. So long as it makes a buck and
alleviates the guilt of your average 4x4 driver then that's okay then...
