Saw the following recently - Wind turbine vs tornado. Some incredible footage from a drone. Interestingly they seem to mostly just fold in half, rather than having their blades shredded, which is what I would have expected. Listen to David Quirk. He is the one who brought up the funnel effect. However, he only talked about the positives not the negatives. Cherry picking. Just as Paul Burgess has been accused of . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me this is bound to be the case as we are developing a whole new raft of infrastructure without being able to decommission the old. I get the gas reduction cost argument but we still have the power station to upkeep and run, oh and the debt ! Cheaper cleaner energy would be Nirvana, but it's not going to happen ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it is more about meeting increased demand for electricity, we need more production to decarbonize transport and home heating, until an interconnecter can provide the base load the power station will.

There is nothing to funnel it. Jurby? More likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurby is almost completely open, it is a brown field site. Parts can be landed at the beach 500 metres away. Peel, parts can be landed on the dock. Turbines can connect straight into the power station. Both have unfettered access to prevailing winds. Earystane has none of these advantages. It will be the island’s most expensive failure to date, making the Liverpool shed look good value. I am not against renewables. I am against Earystane.

Albert Tatlock Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Isn't Jurby mostly sand and eroding? Wouldn't this up construction costs significantly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
