BACK IN 2004, there were 12 operational wind farms in the UK and average annual energy bills were £522. Today, 355 operational wind farms dot our countryside and we pay around £1,252 for energy each year. As wind farms have multiplied, energy bills have more than doubled.
Over 5.5 million UK households spend more than 10% of their income on fuel; they are ‘fuel poor’. In Scotland, under the rule of a wind-obsessed Government, over 900,000 households – more than thirty-three per cent – cannot afford to heat their homes adequately. For every 5% increase… Read more
