Back in January 2010 Billothewisp was exposed to the pathetic power output of a proposed huge and ugly wind farm threatening to despoil one of the nicer parts of the world. (in fact it turns out the value I found shockingly low was a massive overestimate).
Since then it has just got worse and worse. The developers arrogance, avarice and greed has only been matched by the stupidity of governments and the wilful ignorance of the dreamworld supporters of this truly failed technology.
I keep thinking I will soon stop being shocked by what I find out about the Wind Farm scam. But that time has not arrived yet.
Wind Turbine generation has its niche, an example of which would be remote off grid locations. But that niche is certainly not as a major power source on the National Grid.
