Totally agree with you there.Well of course we have one - cheap, quick, kind to the environment..... reduce consumption.
But what politician will get elected on that platform?
I have heard it said that if industry was to reduce the energy it wastes ( that's WASTES, not USES) by 20%, we wouldn't need to generate any more power.
This might be completely incorrect, but I'm sure the gist is right.
It seems clear to me that currently windfarms are about economic growth, not environmental sustainability.
