Even if he is, it's a very valid question - and one that seems to be
ignored by the government when thrusting these token green measures on
us.
Just as your average suburban domestic windmill will take more energy
to
manufacture it than it will ever generate in its lifetime.

Evidence?



Well you could try asking someone who's got one.

An owner doesn't usually know the energy cost of manufacture.

The trouble is there
is nowhere near enough wind in most urban/suburban settings. It's a
bit old hat - even the most credulous innumerate greenies now accept
they don't work where there are trees and buildings.

Nobody is thrusting windmills on anyone.

We considered one and when we asked a supplier we were told honestly that
our suburban situation was unsuitable. We assumed that they were being
honest so I refer others to them.
