Story: BT announces wind-farm scheme

Wind energy??

So we can expect BT service to get worse then. Wind power has been shown to be both unreliable at best and more expensive when subsidies are factored in. California once had a 'wind only' policy but had to abandon it due to extreme power-cuts that were unacceptable. The best we can do in the UK is less than 25% of the installed capacity - and that depends on the wind blowing!
There must be a better way that is more reliable. Do I hear someone saying nuclear? At least that is reliable and the problem of waste can be managed by using 2 different types of reactors. One uses the waste from the other as part of its fuel.
