Well said!

Thank the Lord for Prince Philip for saying what a lot of us are thinking - and have been for some time.  Wind turbines are not only an eyesore, they are also, to borrow his phrase, "absolutely useless".  Someone, somewhere is making a fortune out of conning us all into believing that these monstrosities are the answer to all our prayers, whereas they are about as inefficient a method of creating electricity as it is possible to imagine. They depend on an unreliable source of energy (if the wind doesn't blow, they don't work, and if the wind blows too hard, they don't work) and they cost the taxpayer a small fortune in subsidies.  Unfortunately they are the darlings of the "green lobby" who the politicians seem hell-bent on appeasing, so we're probably stuck with them.
