A load of hot air: Why spending £100bn on windfarms to please the EU is Labour's greatest act of lunacy | Mail Online
Today, a giant new wind turbine soars the height of a London tower block above the Mendip hills where I live in Somerset.
A perfect symbol of what is arguably the greatest single political madness engulfing Britain today.
Although this 330ft monster will produce an income of £500,000 a year for the company that built it - nearly half of it in subsidies paid by all of us through higher electricity bills - the amount of power it contributes to our national grid will be so derisory as to scarcely register.
I know something about this turbine because I was the chairman of a group which was set up to campaign against it.
