It is worth quoting from the leading environmentalist and scientist and inspiration of the Green Movement, Dr James Lovelock from his recent 2006 book "The revenge of Gaia":
"Onshore European wind energy is two and a half times more expensive per kilowatt hour than gas or nuclear energy. No sensible community would ever support so outrageously expensive and unreliable an energy source were it not that the true costs have been hidden from the public by subsidies and the distortion of market forces through legislation... Wind energy, through crude and unsustainable industrial development, is already devastating some unusually beautiful countryside.."
