"Scotland's wind farms 'often able only to boil 6,667 kettles'"

John Ross reported this at Scotsman.com:
"Wind farms are much less efficient than the industry claims, according to new research.
A report produced for the conservation charity the John Muir Trust (JMT) says turbines are producing below 10 per cent of capacity for more than a third of the time.
It claims that for extended periods, all the wind turbines in Scotland linked to the National Grid produce less than 20MW of energy - just enough power for 6,667 households to boil their kettles."
