In many projects, wind powered turbines are expensive and contribute little to the grid.
Certain geographical areas, like Denmark, are well suited for wind power, with not only having few obstacles to harvesting the wind, but also enough population density nearby to make connecting to the grid worthwhile.

Wind is more often just an expensive supplement than a real alternative to primary energy sources. Unfortunately. It needs to be combined with solar power (which can be cost-effective even in northern Europe) and preferably hydro or biofueled power.

Huzzah for nuclear power. If I was absolute ruler of the United States we'd be devoting a huge amount of resources to building nuclear plants right now, and any protesters or people attempting to file suits would be dispersed with machine gun fire.

I think high speed rail would make sense for the UK in the same way it has for Japan. Any talk of it here though is base insanity and train fetishism.
