As I see it the major problem is the concentration of housing. Country

above the roofs and suffer scordingly.

If we didn't need concentrated housing in the form of large towns and
cities we'd not need wind energy either - the existing hydro plant would
cope with the much reduced population. Who of course couldn't have paid
for the hydro installations...

That doesn't make any sense. We are talking about wind turbines not
hydroelectric plants. A lot of power is used by businesses, factories and
shops. Probably far more than houses which is why they all have power
factor correction devices fitted and their own substations for industrial
applications.

Wind turbines are a joke, so are solar panels.

The holy grail of renewable energy came a step closer yesterday as
thousands of mass-produced wafer-thin solar cells printed on aluminium
film rolled off a production line in California, heralding what
British scientists called "a revolution" in generating electricity.
