Paterson, T. Germany shelves report on high cost of wind farm-produced energy. Sunday Telegraph 30/1/3005
A damning report warning that wind-farm programmes will greatly increase energy costs and that 'greenhouse gases' can be reduced easily by conventional methods has been shelved.
The findings of the 490-page report, commissioned by the German government and due for publication last week. The inquiry into wind farm growth was compiled by the government’s energy research agency and two other independent bodies. Its conclusions are awkward for Germany’s ruling coalition of Social Democrats and Greens, which has overseen widespread growth in wind farms. With more than 15,000 turbines, Germany has the highest number of wind farms in Europe and the government is committed to doubling the number by 2015.
