Less efficient energy production

Telegraph:

Britain's so-called "dash for wind" means that it is now the biggest off shore generator – producing as much as the rest of the world put together.

But costs of building the farms have doubled due to spiralling prices for steel and the drop in the value of the pound.

The running costs are also increasing.

The report found that costs have risen for all kinds of generation but off shore wind farms remain by far the most expensive – 90 per cent more than fossil fuel generators and 50 per cent more than nuclear.

...
This means they will be paying more for less.

We should remember that when Obama or Thomas Friedman tout "alternative" energy. Someone may come up with an efficient approach to alternative energy, but this is clearly not it.
