They not allowed to object that there is no unbiassed evidence that WFs save CO2 when all effects are accounted Nor that WF save much fuel when conventional back up is allowed for. Different in Denmark which exports peak supply and imporst when wind dont blow Even in Denmark there is now disillusion with WF Smile!-there is 8 year delay in finding a ship to establish WF at sea so they say Sadly the next Government is full of wind on environment - Dr Alister McFarquhar Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:46:46 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/environment/the-green-bait%11and%11switch-200808271944/#comment-861 I wonder what the transmission losses are over these long links?
