The UK Government was very keen on carbon neutral biofuels from crops,
until it was pointed out to them that the land area required would
leave very little for growing food!

They now seem enthused about the off-shore windmills now in operation
there. * Some said to be many miles offshore.

The off-shore windmills will be a hazard to navigation and shipping,
and possibly sea birds.

Windmills on land apparently interfere with Air Traffic Control radar,
as well as making some ridges untenable for gliders and being a
general eyesore (visual pollution of the environment). Every bit of
high ground in otherwise beautiful Spain is covered with the goddam
things. If we relied on these for electricity, we would have to turn
everything off on still days, or fire up the remaining fossil fuelled
power stations.
