You Shouldn't Have Gone To B&Q - With Apologies to Specsavers

Reported in the Telegraph is that B&Q has had to withdraw from sale micro-turbines costing £1,900 following a survey by a firm of energy consultants which showed "that home turbines generated only a fraction of the energy promised by manufacturers and in some cases used more electricity than they produced."

As Christopher Booker has shown, by articles in the Sunday Telegraph on 26th October 2008, 14th September 2008, 10th August 2008, 8th April 2007 and 18th February 2007 the words "turbines generated only a fraction of the energy promised" can also be applied to the larger ones that Gordon Brown, along with all the other 'greenies', wishes to plaster all over our countryside.

Leaving aside there may well be a few cases brought under the Trades Description Act, can we please 'unwind' what is a stupid policy and one which is patently undeliverable?

Only when our local administrative centre (Parliament) has sought permission from their masters in Brussels, of course!
