Wind Farms

[Badged01]

Is it me or is this growth in wind farms just ridiculous?

Doesn't this country have enough wind of its own without wasting electricity making more of it by running these big fans? Its a blatant Tory waste of the tax payers money ......

I don't think you've quite grasped the concept mate

 

[trev]

Being the cynic I am, I've often said (jokingly) they contain motors rather than generators and we are all being ripped off.

Have you seen the state of Jockland with the horrible things?

If they work on lots of wind should,nt they encircle westminster with them

I think if we build enough wind farms we should be able to turn the earth on it's axis a few degrees and then maybe we'll have the climate of the med lol

He's got a point,if "they" genuinely want to generate energy using free,plentiful easily available sources,why have they not built a system powered by litter,dog muck and bad manners? ...not been many places where i've noticed a shortage of these...:bobby:

Had a tour of a facility that models and tests the power converters in big offshore wind turbines today. 3MW at 690V. Let's say, 30m, buried singles. There and back. That's quite a lot of copper!

Awesome technology in the power converters, too

I think the thousands at home in Devon must to blowing too hard against the ones in Essex and vice a versa because every time I drive between the two neither sets seem to be working...

I do love the way they are getting put up literally everywhere, provide no energy, take away funding from vital upgrades (roads & DNO especially), are always installed by Germans and I get to pay extra to the people that could afford these gigantic turds in the first place :evil2:

If you had the land and the right place would you say no if they wanted to pay you for doing nothing, i no i would have them
