Hm. To make the same energy as a conventional power station (what black
smoke?) would need somewhere between about 60 and 160 wind farms,
all operating at peak output all the time (which is clearly not possible!).
That IMO is around 60 to 160 too many! They're scarcely majestic, nor
silent, and I really do not want any more of Cornwall, or anywhere else,
blighted with these things, let alone entirely covered with them!
