Approximately 9.3% of the UK's electricity requirement.
Home electrical service in the UK is 230 volts at 50 hertz.
No.

I'm not sure about the UK, but in 2007 there were about 100,000 birds killed by wind turbines
As of 11 January 2009, there are 269 operational wind farms in the UK, with 2,764 turbines and 4,070 MW of installed capacity
wind turbines,coal,etc
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
natural gases, nuclear generators, cogeneration, wind turbines, coal and oil. And their are lots of renewables(e.g. wind turbines, solar panels...) possible more overall
Both wind turbines and coal power stations come in different sizes, so there is no quick formula to convert one to the other.
We should be - given that we are now dependent on a huge pipeline coming from Russia to supply us with mains gas ! That supply is vulnerable to failure for many reasons - and we should have a contingency plan in place as an alternative. We should be prepared to sacrifice 'picture postcard' landscapes in favour of wind turbines. Sustainable power is more important than pretty scenery !
The UK is windier than some countries, and less sunny than others (especially in the middle of Winter like now!)
Well, I am not sure about the state but I know that one of the Top 5 Countries to have the most wind turbines is UK. Has 186 wind farms holding 2,120 electrical producing wind turbines Can power over 1.5 million homes and saved up to 6 million tons of carbon i heard its California
Small wind turbines can be used to generate electricity. Many people in the UK find them to work a lot better than solar ones. They help cut costs on electric bills.
