You've really got the wrong end of the stick on the green issues I reckon
eg speed bumps costing lives - NOT green, spped camera - NOT green !
SPeed bumps increasing fuel consumption and emissions - GREEN

Wind turbines aren't rubbish if you locate them where there is large average wind and then use HYDRO. The perfect storage system, already used for decades in the UK using nuclear to pump water back up the hill and then when peak needed letting it flow down.

True, the nutters see black/white on both sides.
BALANCE is what's important.

Personally I'd have preferred more research on wave power, but no, we buy technology from countries with no waves and plenty of wind. We coudl have been a world power in wave generation except for a string of short-minded governments
