Title: Wind power....£4k per household!
Post by: Nickbat on 26 June 2008, 00:04:47
"Britain faces an energy gap of up 32 GW by 2015 as older coal and nuclear power stations are paid off. At the same time, Britain has made a binding commitment to deliver 15% of all its energy consumption from renewable energy sources by 2020.

The Government has now accepted that the total costs of meeting the 2020 target will be £100 billion. This is the equivalent of £4,000 for every household in the country."

HOW MUCH?....FORGET IT!   >:( >:(

I found this quite interesting: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/20/mackay_on_carbon_free_uk/

The one thing that the politics always glosses over: hard numbers. They can agree to what they like. It's not going to fly. >:(
