"Ed 'I haven't got a ****ing clue' Davey MP, Secretary of State for
Energy and Climate Change, today opened SSEs Keadby Wind Farm -
Englands largest onshore wind farm"

What the small print doesn't say is this 68MW* of wind turbine
capacity is sited right next to a mothballed 735MW gas fired power
station...owned by SSE.

* 68MW possibly occasionally produced on a maybe basis now and again
in a random manner



I drove past our local eyesore turbines yesterday, when there was a
wind blowing, and not one of them was rotating. Funny that.
