Maybe the author meant energy not electricity here? UK generation statistics can be found at the DUKES web site. Wind produced about 1.2%, hydro about 1% and biomass most of the remainder.

If this technology is available, why are none of the dozens of companies in the wind business developing it? If it makes things more cost effective, it would give them market lead.

Trouble is that it could put most of the present wind turbine supppliers out of business !!
