David Cameron's Wind Turbine

In March 2007 Conservative Party leader David Cameron finally had a wind turbine installed on his home. In spring of 2006 we reported Mr. Cameron's intention to have a D400 StealthGen wind turbine generator (from Eclectic Energy) installed at his West London home. Six months later there was still no sign of the wind turbine and rumours circulated that he had changed his mind because micro-wind turbines generate tiny amounts of electricity in built-up London.

Unfortunately within a few days the wind turbine had to be removed again because builders had installed it in the wrong place. Planning permission was granted by Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council for Mr. Cameron's wind turbine to be installed on a chimney stack, but it was inadvertently fixed to a nearby wall as shown in the photograph above.

Mr. Cameron's green credentials have been somewhat dented by his decision to ride his bicyle to work while his chauffeur was photographed driving behind him carrying his shoes and briefcase! He was also pipped to the green politician post by Chancellor (and likely General Election opponent) Gordon Brown who recently installed solar panels on his Fife home.
