    The ?48,000 government wind turbine that generates just ?5 of electricity a month


    Yahoo Finance UK/AP Photo/Gero Breloer - A wind turbine that cost the Welst Government ?48,000 to install typically generated ?5 worth of electricity a month last year


    A wind turbine that cost the Welsh government tens of thousands to build generates just ?5 of electricity a month because it?s been put in the wrong place.

    At a cost of ?48,000, it will take a whopping 800 years before the turbine is cost effective.

    The sustainable energy generator was put up at the government?s Aberystwyth office in 2009, according to BBC Wales.

    But it was confirmed in a response to a Freedom Of Information request that between January 2012 and July this year the turbine had generated only 585 kilowatt hours of energy (kWh) ? averaging 33 kWh a month, at a market value of ?5.28.

              I can help you but only if you want me to help you
              All the questions should start from what car, what year, what engine is what fuel. What are the symptoms of the problem. Only then is what you know, what fault code, live data, what you have done.
