Lib Dem Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey is supportive of further expansion as part of a diverse energy mix but junior Conservative minister John Hayes has suggested no more wind turbines should be built in England after those currently in the pipeline were finished.
Yet today, wind does no more for commuters than gasoline does for computers.
It comes as Energy Minister John Hayes repeated his view that there may be no need for more new applications for on-shore wind farms, once existing targets are met.
"Clearly some supporters feel aggrieved that a song they believe to be no more than a tit-for-tat 'wind up' of Celtic supporters should be singled out in this way and merit the attention of police, governments and anti-racism organisations, " said Bain.
In 1919 German physicist Albert Betz published a theory that no turbine can capture more than 60 percent of the kinetic energy in wind.
On a no-wind day, the Eclipse can fly two passengers and luggage more than 1, 200 nautical miles nonstop and still have an hour of fuel reserve.
With no fuel costs, once built, the longer a wind turbine operates the more cost effective it becomes.
And death, which I have always regarded as the greatest dimension of life, dark, compelling, was no more than a pipe that springs a leak, a branch that cracks in the wind, a jacket that slips off a clothes hanger and falls to the floor.
Following various criticisms, the developers now propose that the wind farm, known as Navitus Bay, should only have 218 turbines no more than 200m (600ft) high.
By the time he reached the middle of the bay and the wind began to bite, he realized that it was December, and no more than forty degrees, and the farther out into the bay he ventured the colder it would get.
No one is more aware of this than Lewis Hay, chief executive of NextEra Energy, the largest wind owner in the U.S. by far.
From a simple engineering perspective, the more wind turbines are placed around the globe, the more energy can be extracted, with no particular effect on the overall energy of the atmospheric flow.
