Wind farms turn huge profit with help of subsidies

Here.

Excerpt:
LAVISH subsidies and high electricity prices have turned Britain’s onshore wind farms into an extraordinary moneyspinner, with a single turbine capable of generating £500,000 of pure profit per year.

According to new industry figures, a typical 2 megawatt (2MW) turbine can now generate power worth £200,000 on the wholesale markets - plus another £300,000 of subsidy from taxpayers.
(Via climate science):
This is how we are all being fleeced by the government and the wind farm industry under the guise of global warming.
