The funny thing about the Isle of Wight is that they have to import power from Southampton through massive underwater cables and they have a single gas-fired power plant which, since the UK became a net gas importer must have become increasingly expensive to operate.

So, they have no power, a lot of wind, and NIMBYism. They also have a Tory MP...
