    If we want wind power we must have wind turbines. I suppose many people would say that a line of pylons streching for many miles from the electricity is generated to where the electricity is consumed is an eyesore. Power cables could be buried underground (although that is much more expensive). Some electrical cables are under sea for example the Caithness–Moray Link:

    my question is why dont we use the wind power to make hydrogen. what we have in Scotland is wind and water and other countries are crying out for hydrogen power for steelmills etc.
