Something that all so often gets forgotten in the great green debate is the cost to the planet of creating the wind tubines or the glass panels in the first place and then trying to dispose of them when they no longer work.

Take the Toyota Prius, one of the favoured green vehicles here in Europe. If you take into account the actual cost of the vehicle in building it and then disposing the cadmium batteries (which are lasting for far less time than first thought), then its far dirtier to the planet than many a gas guzzler.

Me I'm for lots and lots of bio diesel, we can grow it, harvest it and still be less harmful overall than the wind turbines and its totally recyclible. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
