HM , The Queen of England has decided that enough is enough. She has decided to save the planet, and if this is anyway to start - its not going to be long before she has achieved some significant results single handedly. We couldnt think of a better way to put royalty to good use.

The Crown Estate that manages the royal property is buying the Worlds Largest Windmill - for an amount that shall not be revealed. Its going to produce 10 megawatts when completed - thats enough to replace the harmful effects of 724,000 tons of Carbon Dioxide over its life time that would otherwise be produced while trying to generate the same amount of power.

This compared to the usual measly 2 megawatts of power that commercial windmills produce. The wingspan of this behemoth is going to be equal to two soccer fields and it shall be 574 feet high. Thats almost 1.5 times the length of the Big Ben and more than 111 of Queens standing one on top of another - if you can imagine that.

To be built by Clipper Windpower of Carpinteria, Calif. ; the windmill shall be completed in 2012 and will be able to power 3700 average homes.
