a: wind energy ~
b: marmite

What:

"Wind Energy is like Marmite. No middle ground. Despite knowing next to nothing about what it's all about, you're either for or against. Me, I'm for on all counts. I think wind turbines are beautiful. And, yes, I would want one sited outside my house - if it was a Small Wind turbine. Here, there's a very important point of public information that the nay-saying Daily Mail Ostrich Army is refusing to acknowledge or broadcast: Small Wind is very different to Big Wind. Of course, to 99% of the public, there is only Wind. Why split it into Big, Medium or Small? Well, this is the industry's weakness in its very strength."
