I did think about mentioning it, but it isn't really a viable
alternative - how much of our energy could realistically come from wind?


The government aims for 20-25% and around 30% of homes (not 30% of
power) to
have a Stirling engine mCHP boiler giving distributed power generation.
The
first 500 are being installed now.


First off, I don't give a crap what the government aims for - it is
meaningless.

Well as they run the place you better take not of what they say.

Second - please tell me what your statement has to do with wind.

Look at the 20-25% bit. That is a clue.

Third - what fuel will these mCHP boilers run off? Nuclear?

Natural gas, which is 80% efficient when creating power locally, which
electricity is about 35% efficient from the station.
