they have wind farms.
I’m mean they are useless at producing energy when you need it.
Little Cheyne court (In Kent) is at this moment producing 290 kW. The rated capacity is 59.8 MW. Or less than half of one percent of the rated capacity. Try the interactive map if you’re not convinced of the uselessness of these follies..
When are the politicians of all colours going to wake up and realise that they’ve been taken for a bunch of fools?
When are the people of all colours going to wake up and realise that they've been taken for a bunch of fools and drop some rope around our politicians necks > FTFY :)
ReplyDeleteBecause they took those usefull "handles" off the lamp posts.
DeletePlenty of rotary gallows to hang them from though, as in the picture...
DeleteOutput has dropped a further 61% to only 111kW.
ReplyDeleteAt least Little Cheyne Court is positively producing.
ReplyDeleteSiglos, Southern Spain is at minus 100kW "production".
The politicians and greenies and lobbyists all know.

ReplyDeleteThanks for that, I work in the energy sector and have an interest in renewables, however the equipment has to be in the right place to do the right job. It is pretty obvious from these figures that they are not. Plants rated for megawatts and producing kWh is a diabolical waste of money.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter if wind farm is on the top of the highest hill for miles, if a settled high pressure system is sitting over it there will be little if any wind.
DeleteThe old argument about siting them offshore isn't much better - access and maintenance is far more difficult, and I'd love to know what the corrosion implications are. FE will know more about that...
As for putting them in clusters - that leads to the ones down wind suffering wake vortices and reduced efficiency. The now famous picture of the Horns Rev farm off the Danish coast, and a research paper are here:

Windmills are the 4th Reich's version of Stukas. They reduce the amount of power available. What is more stealthy for a Stuka than to not physically exist, and to let the enemy see them as a friend? The outcome is the same, but it saves money on bombs.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't forget Churchill. While he managed to destroy us -as he always craved-, he also failed to save your empire. Who's the sucker now.

I love how they are oblivious to the huge PR FAIL that map is. I linked it and put it on teh twit. Awesome Thermageddon FAIL.
