On a trip to Vienna I was speaking with the concierge at our hotel who told me that the greens in Austria had a law passed regarding green electricity from wind farms. Low and behold after passing this law the green party members became millionaires several years afterwards due to the massive expansion of wind farms in Austria. Can't move for them over there.

Why am I not surprised?

lets hope that the companies signing the contracts for the "more nuclear power" are British. Oops too late. In twenty years time Britain will be held to energy ransom by some foreign company. Still at least no birds were killed during the process. I am afraid Brits are very short sighted. they have already let control of a large % of the banks pass to the Spanish, wait till they harmonise the charges.


Incidentally I go walking under the wind farms that we have an abundance of around here, one is near a large Chough colony. I have yet to see one dead bird of any variety. They would be easy enough to see on the large expanses of white gravel under each one. Still it must be true if an expert has said it. If I do find one I will post it on to an Admin.[/quote]


You've nailed that one dead centre V - splendid

For once yes, as this debate will run and run whoever is in power.  The answer, to my mind, is simple, but I'm afraid there are just too many cooks in the kitchen to arrive at a straightforward answer!

OK then

Not really understood all of this debate.....prolly coz its late and im tired......however my 2p worth....is theres a wind turbine in Reading.....and its HUGE....see it from the M4...i believe its the biggest turbine in Europe thats privately owned.....so if the private owner of it.....isnt making money selling the power it creates to the national grid......it wouldnt be there.....so for the owner must be worthwhile  :-/
