Climate Crap that pisses me off

This is the BBC's "climate calculator" where you get to decide UK energy policy and figure out what is best for the nation.

Long story short, killing off every current plant and switching 100% to wind power by 2020 will raise average household electricity costs by about 20%. It would cost more to switch to all nuclear, and cost about 75% more to generate everything with... fossil fuels.

There you have it: the cheapest source of electricity in 2020 is wind. After that, nuclear. Most expensive: fossil fuels.

Who the hell at the BBC set this up? Are you all out of your minds? This thing is the most idiotic and skewed calculator I have ever seen. The best part is this text: "Please do not expect the calculator to give a precise forecast - it is just a guide."
