[edit] Wind powe

Engine man - you've added the following claim to National Grid UK:

Assume you had to duplicate the entire grid to accommodate wind (extremely unlikely) – then this would still only add an extra 0.2p/kWh to the cost of power.

This seems somewhat speculative. Do you have a source for that? I agree that if wind power were available in the quantities and locations of current power supplies, then costs would be the same. But if windpower was available only off the northern coast of Scotland, costs would be much higher. I'm sure we could argue over this all day. However, Wikipedia is not a place for original research. If I cannot find a reference for this claim, I will remove it. Regards, Crosbiesmith 14:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Crosbiesmith,

if you look under Triads in UK National Grid you will see how it is worked out. It is a matter of pubished informatoin that the present cost of the national grid is around 0.2p/kWh... let me know if you have any further problem with is.
