Installing 2,000 small wind turbines will "provide more affordable energy" when people "need it most", Greater Manchester's mayor has said.

The units, which are powered by the air moved by passing vehicles, will be put on buildings and lampposts as part of the region's carbon reduction plan.

Andy Burnham said the project will also "support the creation of 200 new jobs".

The firm behind the turbines said their size meant even small sites could become wind farms.

Alpha 311 said the units were smaller and lighter than countryside or off-shore turbines, meaning they can be used on roads, bridges, buildings and towers.

What are they all shmoking?
A Scotsman phoned in ,on the box suggesting more reservoirs down South.[where will the water come from?]
IMO ask Putin to build a water pipe from the Loch's,to the South.
Energy could be generated all along it's length.
Easy peesy. Loz for P.M. forget Truss.

A few sites are generating power using the Archamedes Screw principle,using water.
One in New Mills and a couple in the Manchester Ship Canal.
