Level playing field

Did you know that £1bn in subsidies are paid out to UK wind power operators, according to Ofgem. Much of this subsidy comes from us, via our fuel bills. Over half of what a wind turbine "earns", comes not from the value of the electricity sold, but as a direct wealth transfer from citizens to the private operator.
This Public Information Announcement is brought to you via The Register as it is unlikely that it will be reported by the BBC.
