I know (and I hope you know) that ...Roaminghaggis:<br /><br />I know (and I hope you know) that without the ROC there would be no klondike style goldrush by the huge corporations to build these things. True, as you say, they actually have to produce some power, but then they get paid (at least) twice for it. <br /><br />Are you seriously naive enough to believe the likes of RES (a subsidiary of the McAlpine Group) are bulldozing these things through to benefit mankind? <br /><br />Get Real.<br /><br />My blog may come across as biased, but I believe it is only because I have actually read the reports and studied the data. Most of which is damning. Example:- (PLEASE READ) from the John Muir Trust<br /><br />http://www.jmt.org/assets/pdf/wind-report.pdf<br /><br />(p.s. as your are apparently Scottish I hope you know who the John Muir Trust are!)<br /><br />Hey! I even did my own analysis (which was slightly kinder to the wind industry than JMT - though not by much) So to call me uninformed I think is a bit rich.<br /><br />http://billothewisp.blogspot.com/2011/01/wind-power-damning-results.html<br /><br />You may be willing to sacrifice the countryside and the people who live there so the likes of RES can rake in the profits but don't include me.<br /><br />Wasting money on wind turbines does nothing (and never could) to reduce oil consumption. All they do is ensure more and more people are reduced to fuel poverty.<br /><br />While coal kills thousands because of mining accidents and noxious fumes, wind turbines will kill thousands simply because they are so bloody useless.<br /><br />Trying to save the world with wind turbines is like trying to bale out a sinking dinghy with a set of silver spoons. Nice impressive and shiny, but unfit for purpose, and ultimately useless.BilloTheWisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221663524948086557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-38995794777110525342011-06-06T16:08:38.110+01:002011-06-06T16:08:38.110+01:00You say "Their only goal is to see the ROC...You say "Their only goal is to see the ROC's (subsidy) piling up in their bank account." ....you do know they get this money only in exchange for each MWhr they produce, like every other renewable energy.<br /><br />Just thought I'd mention it as your blog post comes across blatantly biased and sadly uninformed. <br /><br />Thank God the law is there to prevent 'I bought this landscape' selfish people from easily taking down much needed renewable energy projects. <br /><br />I hear the oil barons of Saudi and the Tsars of Russia loved the show :-)roaminghaggisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-84788676626772623542011-05-21T20:41:30.190+01:002011-05-21T20:41:30.190+01:00Blimey Dioclese, not more holidays!Blimey Dioclese, not more holidays!BilloTheWisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221663524948086557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-23769633526321434372011-05-21T16:13:53.390+01:002011-05-21T16:13:53.390+01:00I shall inspect the turbines closely as I sip a Me...I shall inspect the turbines closely as I sip a Metaxa in the taverna next week...Dioclesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139646438543954337noreply@blogger.com
