Prince Philip blasts wind farms

London - Britain's Prince Philip has launched a fierce attack on "absolutely useless" wind farms, in the latest outburst from the famously outspoken consort, a report said on Sunday.

"He said they were absolutely useless, completely reliant on subsidies and an absolute disgrace," said Esbjorn Wilmar, of Infinergy, which builds and operates turbines.

"I was surprised by his very frank views."

5. What form of energy isn't collecting subsidies?
Would people prefer their money go to clean sustainable energy of one that causes pollution and health problems?
