More on Power Generation…

Here is an interesting list of power stations UK for all you wind farm fans. One wind turbine is about 2MW so go and tot up how many we need to replace one or two of our ageing coal or nukes. (Thankfully Chapplecross has since gone off-line after operating since 1959!!) And remember that a wind turbine doesn’t work in calm hot days (like the ones that killed 15000 people in France a few years ago and are now being prepared for with air con systems which guzzel power) or on stormy days where there are very high winds or gusting and blustery conditions with wind constantly changing direction like those we tend to get in winter here.
