The "bet...Thanks for the comment Mountainman,<br /><br />The "better part" of the driving force behind the current wind turbine obsession is a laudable concern for the environment. But instead of being science based with realistic targets, it is a mix of technical ignorance and wishful thinking. A dream of "It'll come right in the end" is no way to run an energy policy especially when the major issues surrounding wind turbines have no solution. <br /><br />But the driving forces behind wind turbines also have a "worst part". This is the avaricious pursuit by greedy companies and individuals based around huge government inducements. They are people with no morals and will trample over anyone and anything to get their gold. <br /><br />Many of the corporate monsters we associate with putting people second to their profits are heavily invested in wind - mainly to get their hands on the subsidies and perhaps greenwash/greensmoke their main activities as well.<br /><br />Wind turbines certainly do have uses - mainly niche applications. But the current obsession with huge ineffective monsters in (say) the UK is a road to nowhere. It simply lines the pockets of the landowning rich while penalizing common folk who end up with higher bills.BilloTheWisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221663524948086557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-15997790299018616872015-07-30T12:09:57.793+01:002015-07-30T12:09:57.793+01:00Thanks Billo - just doing a short RE course and th...Thanks Billo - just doing a short RE course and the cube ref helped.<br />But are you saying that all the money being spent on windfarms is just as a result of bad consciences? Out here in South Africa fledgling windfarms are getting praise even from Eskom that is seriously invested in coal.<br /><br />patrick@wessa.co.za or belowMountainmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792494672982441557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-84129869839839986532015-01-30T12:10:04.921+00:002015-01-30T12:10:04.921+00:00there is also Hellman's Exponent which deals w...there is also Hellman's Exponent which deals with interference of wind from nearby foresty, buildings, hills and so on, no mention of that on planning apps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-18780136740078674622014-08-07T07:48:01.482+01:002014-08-07T07:48:01.482+01:00Posted a link here...
