Personally I don't find the odd turbine or two unnattractive. I have
doubts over the numbers required through - the UK peak consumption is
something over 60GW, which means (surely I've got this wrong?) 30,000 of
those 2MW units, each of which is as tall as St Paul's Cathedral.


Your "argument" is based on generating all electricity from wind
turbines. A straw man.
