"The Queen is going green by investing in the largest wind turbine in the world, her property company the Crown Estate said on Wednesday."
"The turbine will be built by the London-listed wind turbine maker Clipper Windpower and will be fully operational by 2010, Barton said, with all the power generated to be sold to the national grid."
The Queen Goes Green: Better late than never!
They were celebrating the Queen's 50 years on the throne a few years back and I remember passing through Heathrow airport and seeing all the booze, candy, chocolate, biscuits, fancy bottles and tins; all commemorating her 50 years, and not one thing organic, despite the fact that bonnie prince charlie, her son and heir, is solidly on board with sustainable agriculture and all his products are organic. Well they don't call the Royal Household "The Firm' for nothing. They're an institution and the cogs turn slowly. The wind turbine is good news indeed!
"There are times when the fog is so thick on the hills
fell enchantment has settled on river and lake
and the poisons have sunk so far into the earth
that we ask is there anything left here to wake...."
