Wind farms are far too unreliable to provide Scotland’s energy – Independent

I am not excited by the pronouncement that Scotland set a new record for
wind electricity generation in the first six months of 2017.

This is hardly a ringing endorsement considering the billions of pounds of
capital invested in wind generation, plus the massive consumer paid
subsidies per unit of electricity generated – not to mention the consequent
desecration of many of our landscapes. It also begs the question of where
the electricity required for the other 175 or so days came from?
