Energy bills 'prop up wind farms'

Domestic energy bills are helping prop up Britain's wind farm industry, with every job in the sector effectively costing £100,000 a year in subsidies, according to reports.

A national newspaper said wind turbine owners received £1.2 billion in consumer subsidies last year. Supporting 12,000 jobs, the subsidy - paid by a supplement on electricity bills - equates to around £100,000 per post.
