If they don't work why would the promoters be willing to spend millions on
such a development?


The local view of the "development" (I'm just as affected as Steve, BTW)
is "money talks".  The landowner gets payments of rent for the use of
the land, the developer gets government and EU grants, and then payment
for any electricity the windmills actually manage to produce.


At an extortionate rate, well over 24p/unit by now.
