How do you know whether someone is being 'irresponsible' before they catch the virus? Do you follow them around, taking photographs? Imagine the social stigma, for starters. Do you live in the real world, or a computer game?

The cost of compensating wind farms for overloading the power grid, which considering the UK's current (and future!) wind generation capacity, is not inconsequential. Wind farms in the UK have to be disabled for periods during the Wint

Looking from afar, paranoia seems to have been a mainstay of the American right since the 1950's. What's changed in the past 15-20 years is it appears to have become a mainstay of American politics in general. See: https:/&#

The cost of decommissioning a wind turbine is a simple disincentive, approximately the same as installing it in the first place (although data on this seems scant and dependent on several factors.)
