You have to have an awful lot of them to generate not much electricity and I’d be an awful lot happier with gas-fired power stations and doing it without the subsidies that some of the fledgling interruptible technologies seem to have.”
Fortunately, Lord O’Neil did not “crush any toes” because Aker Solutions’ involvement in the wind sector ceased when it de-merged from its construction divisions this July.
