I am interested in the future of our energy supply after so much money has been poured into wind turbines, both on-shore and off-shore.

Personally I believe that we should put a ban on any more and concentrate on other sources, such as wave power.

Most people will be aware of the wind turbine put up at Glyndebourne, privately purchased at a cost of some £1.25 million.

The original promotional estimate said that the windspeeds would produce 30% of its maximum load factor capacity.

In its first year of operation (2012), it only produced 18%.

Glyndebourne says it covers almost all of its power needs.

However, our Government, in its bid to follow EU guidelines, so heavily subsidises these installations that any excess supply from Glyndebourne’s turbine is sold back to the National Grid at an agreed rate.

Where does the Government get the money from?

By putting it on the energy bills we all pay. The mind boggles at the money the owners of big, multi-turbine installations receive. No wonder they are keen to build more.

Does an energy project for the South mean we will pay on our bills and then receive some of it back?
