Well Said Prince Philip!,

and former Chancellor Lord Lawson,

for repeating what I have been saying for years, yesterday Lord Lawson led the backing for Prince Philip after he branded wind farms ‘absolutely useless’, in a scathing attack, the Duke of Edinburgh said the turbines were ‘completely reliant on subsidies’ and ‘would never work’, sense at last, last night Lord Lawson said the Duke was ‘spot on’ and speaking on behalf of ordinary people in fuel poverty,


now here's the good bit, Philip made the remarks to Esbjorn Wilmar, managing director of Infinergy, which is building offshore turbines around Britain, Mr Wilmar said he introduced himself to the 90-year-old Duke at a reception and suggested he put wind turbines on royal property, 'he said that they were absolutely useless, completely reliant on subsidies and an absolute disgrace, I was surprised by his very frank views,’ he said, when Mr Wilmar tried to argue that onshore turbines are one of the most cost-effective forms of renewable energy, the Duke apparently replied: ‘You don’t believe in fairy tales do you?’


I think if I were Mr. Wilmar I would not approach the Duke on the subject again, it might be a case of 'off with his head!', yesterday Lord Lawson, a former Tory Chancellor and leading climate change sceptic, said: ‘[The Duke] is spot on, He rightly feels strongly about the issue and equally clearly knows what he is talking about, if you tried to devise the most costly and inefficient means of generating electricity imaginable, you would choose wind power – which is also an environmental monstrosity, desecrating ever more of our English landscape',


as if to prove the point of how useless wind farms are, yesterday the Government’s chief energy scientist, Professor David McKay, said that even if just 10 per cent of the country was covered in wind turbines it would only meet a sixth of our energy needs, and of course with no back up alternative, no wind, no power, elementary my dear Watson!
