Having spoken with a climate change scientist I was amazed to be told that wind turbines increase pollution. How is this?

Quite simple. When the wind blows strongly around the country you end up with more power than you need, so you have to turn off conventional power stations. Good news you say but no, we cannot just turn them off.

It takes up to four days to turn them on again, so instead they waste the energy by sending it up the cooling towers. Great news for the wind power lobby!
