But I'm sure that you will be able to produce evidence that actually oil ran out 2 years ago. The thing is that I actually have an optimistic view of the world and don't believe the sky is falling. :wink::wink:

Funny Baz, I worked for years out of Aberdeen, No one there shares your view :wink:

 

How strange. Baz doesn't seem to have contributed to this topic. :?:?

 

Anyway the government seems to be determined to carry on with its joined up policies:

Wind power and British jobs for British workers. You couldn't make it up. :shock::shock:

I agree asperity that wind power in the UK has more to do with making the government look green than being of any use. The trouble is all three main parties are falling over themselves to look green, so who ever gets in next time will not stop it

so the large wind turbines need a fair bit of their output to keep them going. why cannot smaller turbines(say the size of a household fan) be fitted to supply the larger ones with the extra they need so that all the output of the large ones goes into the grid.

 

if it takes say six small ones to do this then maybe that would be a solution.

 

also a thought for electric cars. ducting on the car could supply air to small turbines in the body and be used to charge the battery when the car was moving or even when stationary if the wind was in the right direction. :wink:

Because most of the planning applications get objected to. Funnily enough in another Council that I know of, 2 similar applications came before the Committee, who vote secretly via an electronic system, the first application was approved, then the electronic system packed up and the second vote was a show of hands....guess what, it was rejected. :wink:
