ENERGY giants Scottish Power and Scottish & Southern Electricity have approached the utility regulator with proposals to charge customers an extra £1 billion to help meet government targets for renewable energy.The David Hume Institute has a new paper on the economics of wind power that is available as a PDF file.
Over on the Mises Blog there's an interesting ongoing discussion on the energy question.

Thank you very much for that. From page 30 the only currently operating offshore windfarm comes in at 7p per unit & nuclear at 2.3p (both wholesale but add 30% to you & me).
I had a leter in the Scotsman saying that, by nuclear's standard of being OK for the next 5 billion years, it must be classed as a renewable but it appears the government have a different standard.
