That would be funny :-)

I was in a comedy club recently & one guy did a set about wind farms.

He claimed to have found the source of 'the wind' - it was a field full of
big 'fans' in Cornwall. He noticed that the faster the fans spun, the
windier it became :-)

He did wonder how big the electricity bill would be to run all those big
fans.
