Wind power

I know its a bit old but I have been thinking about the latest plans to build 7,000 wind turbines as part of our plans to reduce CO2 and AGW.

Christopher Booker does a great job, as always, of pointing out a lot of the issues here, but the he misses a simple one - what if Global Warming means the wind doesn't blow?

Seriously, we hear all these wild predictions of what could happen as temperatures rise but as anyone considered what happens if the wind doesn't blow hard enough to generate the planned electricity? Or at the other end what happens if it blows too strongly when it does blow, they have to turn these things off then? Power cuts?

I'm not sure I like the idea of being at the mercy of the wind so perhaps Medway Council are right to build a coal fired power station?

What sort of idiots will trust long term electricity generation planning to something as fickle as the wind?
