Happier diner Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 30 minutes ago, Dirty Buggane said: So if we take the starting price of £15,000,000 for Liverpool dock and shed, estimated finish price of north of £80,000,000. The £40,000,000 that is the windmill starting price will leave us out of pocket to the tune of £215,000,000. That is if we take it at the average we seem to get fleeced. 🤑 Its not the same. For starters the MUA seem to have properly investigated it. It does not have the same levels of risk. Its just a copy of what has been done a million times over all around the world. Yes it could go wrong, but its unlikely. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly not until they make sure the UK grid can cope (and what about MUA capacity to cope with intermittent electricity generated by our wind farm(s)?): "Billions of pounds' worth of green energy projects are on hold because they cannot plug into the UK's electricity system. Some new solar and wind sites are waiting up to 10 to 15 years to be connected because of a lack of capacity in the system - known as the "grid". National Grid, which manages the system, acknowledges the problem but says fundamental reform is needed." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65500339 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62687064 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambon Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 1 hour ago, Happier diner said: How do you know? Because there is not the road infrastructure, sea/ landing infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, basically there are no positives for the Scard installation. In addition, from a wind perspective, Scard is only good for southerly and westerly winds. Jurby, which was selected as the best place years ago, is virtually on the coast, with good road infrastructure, it is a brown field site already flat and ready to go. Electrical infrastructure is there, but not great. However, it can link in with the proposed solar farm at Andreas, work that will have to be done anyway. Jurby is also good for wind from 3 of the 4 directions. Installation cost will be a fraction of the cost of Scard. It is actually a no brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
