It seems that wind turbines are not so renewable after all and their component parts such as gearboxes and blades often need replacing. Their ugly pylons will blight the countryside and all the concomitant infrastructure will wreak a trail of destruction in its wake. Lord mayor Ioan Richard is right to be concerned about their proliferation
In Hawaii there lies an abandoned wind farm in Kamoa. The tax payer subsidies ran out and the wind farm soon fell into ruin. Thee are many such abandoned follies world wide. The fact is that these turbines soak up large amounts of cash to keep functioning and run at a financial loss.Many wind farms are subsidised by EU funds. If you are lucky enough to own a large swathe of land like Reginald Sheffield then you may earn a tidy sum of money iin return for a wind farm
For the rest of us wind farms are not economical and are a financial drain. During the recent freezing Winters there was little wind due to a freezing anti cyclone. People would have frozen to death were it not for the Drax coal fired power station. Yet that Green party lunatic, Caroline Lucas wishes to havev all our precious heat generating coal fired power stations shut down. Indeed when she was an MEP she instigated a Directive to close most of our nine coal fired power stations. This is known as the Large Combustion Plant Directive. We wqill soon be freezing and suffering blackouts thanks to the Green Party. Not to mention half blind with the low wattage mercury laden light bulbs which was also Lucas` idea
