Default The true cost of wind...

Today as a more than usually stiff breeze covers the British isles, and
wind power creeps up to 10% of demand, you can cry in your beer over the
fact that today will cost you, the electricity consumer, a minimum of
£3.6 million quid you wouldn't otherwise have had to pay.

For a populaton of c 70 million, thats 5p each you have dropped into the
coffers of the troughers, or in terms of households about 15p
