Revealed: the Guardian Wind farm advert that tried to pull the wool over our eyes/The Guardian

On November 7, Guardian readers were excited by a huge two-page advertisement from the wind farm company Ecotricity, hailing what it described as “a historic event”. This, it explained, was on Sunday October 19, following the Didcot power station fire, when several other major power plants were also, for various reasons, offline. But millions of homes across Britain, we were told, would never have noticed. Our lights stayed on solely because wind farms had come to the rescue, contributing a record 25 per cent of all the electricity we were using. This showed just how vital wind has now become in supplying “our energy needs”.
