Windmills
Apparently a wind generator makes enough energy to power 250 homes. I was just imagining if every little village parish council voted to have just one on their nearest hillside the cumulative effect could be quite significant. Why not?
I really liked the Clinton speech on the environment I just watched at the BBC website

Hi David,
Just found your blogspot ^^
It's a bit late but I just had to make a comment on this.
Your idea is great, but the problem is really mankind. They (especially those in power) do not always want what is best, but what is most profitable. I don't really really know the difference in profits between wind energy and the normal energy sources. But if they could make more profit with the windmills, they'd probably put them everywhere.
There is this artist I know, Hein Mader is his name. He designed a windmill that generates much more energy and is cheaper to make than the windmills we know now. An article about the windmill appeared in the papers ... and than, his windmill (a working one, and the only one) got stolen. And it hasn't been found ever since. Mader is 85 years old and doesn't want to put his last energy in making another one.
I suspect some energy company behind this, that wasn't to happy with the idea that they had to replace all their windmills.
But I really like your idea ...
