But, but.... the industry provided SOOOO much political contributions!----- Proof that the wind industry cannot be relied upon for our electricity

Proof that the wind industry cannot be relied upon for our electricity - Telegraph:
It’s not been a good few days for the wind industry, one of the most highly subsidised parts of the UK economy.
The cold weather means that the public is, naturally enough, consuming far more energy to keep warm.
Electricity demand reached its highest level this winter on Monday, as my colleague Emily Gosden reports, and yet on that very same day wind turbines generated their lowest output of the season.
It was an embarassing moment for an over-hyped industry.
...The figures reveal that wind output fell at one point on Monday to just 0.354GW, 0.75pc of the country’s needs. 
To put this in perspective, there is roughly 12GW of wind capacity, and the windfarms operate on average at 28pc of their theoretical maximum capacity.
But those average figures have been of very little use when we actually need vast amounts of electricity. 
In fact, these numbers are a complete catastrophe and are a devastating indictment of years of UK energy policy, which has focused far too much on wind and been based on unrealistic targets and expectations.
For all the vast subsidies it has been given, the wind industry is not fit for purpose..."
