There is a lack of good information on the issue of whether to place these cables overground or underground. We need information on the technical feasibility, the levels of technical difficulty and the comparative costs. Some serious economists are questioning the economic aspects of wind energy generation. They have pointed out that a public subsidy will continue to be required here and elsewhere into the future. Does Mr. O'Connor have any views on that?
