Plans to build more wind farms are 'deluded' http://www.energy-broker.co.uk/plans-to-build-more-wind-farms-are-deluded/


Plans to build more wind farms are ‘deluded’, one of Britain’s biggest investors warned the Government.


Dr Nigel Wilson, chief executive of insurance giant Legal & General, said the controversial green energy strategy will carpet the countryside with ‘ugly modern windmills’ and result in even higher bills for hard-pressed consumers.


Wilson yesterday confirmed  plans to invest more than  £1billion a year on infrastructure projects including homes, roads, and airports.

But he said he would not put a single penny into wind farms because they are too ‘inefficient’ and ‘expensive’.


In an outspoken attack, Wilson said: ‘The Government is deluding itself that it is saving the world by building these ugly modern windmills.


‘This is a very expensive and inefficient way of producing electricity. I fear we will end up having to import it from elsewhere.’


He added: ‘It is sad that normal people are having to pay even more for the government’s inefficient energy strategy, on top of their already very expensive energy bills.’
