Of course their efficiency matters.
Would you operate a car that had appalling fuel efficiency?
How are energy costs ever going to come down without having efficient ways of producing energy?

When these things were going to be erected...and there were representatives in the town centre trying to justify their being put into place. I had done a lot of research into the efficiency. I had it all written down on paper, because of this I didn't commit the figure to memory. I have just had a look for it and cannot find it. I reckon I threw it out in one of my 'flinging sessions'......or I may have thrown it in disgust when these turbines were put up. They were there, and all my research was not required anymore.
My figures certainly weren't going to get them dismantled....so Neil, I cannot quote chapter and verse, but I do remember thinking that they were not worth the effort(in terms of efficiency, that is).

I really don't care how our energy is produced, so long as it is efficient and costs can be brought down.
Remember energy costs affect everything that we buy.

Do you think China(one of the biggest polluters in the world) is concerned about green energy or global warming.
The UK produes less than 2% of global carbon emissions and we seem to be trying to compensate for those in the world who produce carbon gases willy nilly.
