Mice! Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks browning, that's an interesting read .12% seems like a good amount of energy being provided. I am guessing that if they were to try and build that across the Severn it would be a massive massive amount of money nowadays so will never be done.

Imperfection Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Drive across the Fens and you'll see dozens of turbines as the landscape is perfect for them (pancake flat). Solar farms are also becoming more popular and to be honest-i dont mind either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 The thing that always gets me is the wind turbines no running because its too windy??? See them off shore around barrow in Furness and they never seem be moving, up around Blackburn and Darwin on the hills there normally spinning away, at least the solar panels should always be working.

We had a survey to have one put on the farm, the average wind speed where we are (flat and exposed) meant it wouldn't run an awful lot. Something to do with gearing and bearings apparently.
