Not everyone is convinced that wind-power is the most reliant route to clean, renewable carbon-free energy, and it is concerning that Britain is relying on a power source that must be backed up by more constant technologies such as nuclear, coal, or gas, because the wind blows inconsistently, as is its nature.
"A researcher I was speaking to recently reckons green walls in urban canyon environments (areas where walls are higher than the width of the road separating them) are more effective than trees at collecting particles because the way the wind eddies around and then moves down the wall, " Laurence said.

Opponents say the project cannot be justified because wind turbines are under-performing, while supporters say the machines are reliable and effective.

The two cases are intertwined because some of the traders in the second case wind up tipping the traders in the first case.
In 2007, nearly one-third of all the wind turbines in China were deliberately idled because a saturated power grid lacked spare capacity to carry any electricity the remote wind farms would have produced to consumer markets.
