windfarm, it will be becalmed?

They should look closer to home for the real reasons the lights are going
out.

"SSE currently owns 740MW of onshore wind capacity in the UK and Ireland,
and
has 695MW in construction, including 350MW at our Clyde wind farm in
southern
Scotland, which is expected to cost £500million when it is due to be
commissioned in 2012. By 2020, SSE aims to have over 3GW of onshore wind
in
operation."

"Offshore wind, although more expensive than onshore wind is attractive
due to
the strong and consistent wind speeds found out at sea, mitigating issues
with
intermittency. In 2009 the UK became the leader in offshore wind
capacity, a
lead expected to increase. SSE is looking to be a market leader in this
sector,
beginning with the construction of Greater Gabbard, a joint venture with
RWE
nPower, which at over 500MW will is expected to be the largest offshore
wind
farm in the World when commissioned in 2012."
