both solar panels and a small windmills are net users of energy.

Yes. I, too, had forgotten the energy costs of producing the cells
and small windmills in the first instance.


While we're at it, get rid of these windmills at scenic areas and
put
thousands of them beside motorways, after all how much energy is in
the
slipstreams of all the cars on the M1 in a day?

Why not mount windmills directly on every car?
