I have no expertise in energy. But I have been reading one or two things about it recently which interest me. Take this quote from Professor Ian Fells , from an article in the Express : “For a long time I have thought that the wind power bubble would burst. I think that’s starting to happen. Ed Miliband tells people that to oppose wind farms is morally indefensible, but as more people start...

Blimey, what a hive of activity. In the space of 10 days we are told that wind turbines up to 50ft high are going to be allowed everywhere. We are given streamlined planning rules that will allow nuclear power stations and vast wind farms all over the place. And an energy bill is announced containing a levy that will make us pay more for our electricity to fund clean coal-fired power stations.

Photo: Wikipedia, CC Maryland Offshore Wind Development Martin O’Malley, the governor of Maryland, would like to see offshore wind power developed off the cost of his state, but the U.S. military has expressed fears that the turbines could “disrupt flight and weapon test ranges, as well as erroneously appear on radar as unidentifiable aircraft.” Three military bases [...]

A realistic alternative Although we at BJO can and do understand/appreciate our community's concern, particularly with the noise element of a possible installation, it is most important that we all see the Proposed Wind Turbines at Stoke Bardolph against the larger backdrop of the Governements financial incentives for carbon reduction and the renewable energy projects available to the major companies...

I want politicians to get us more energy not less, and that means nuclear to me. But that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in, or in support of, other ways of making energy. I’m intrigued, for instance, by the Honeywell Wind Turbine: That’s it up on the roof. Cool! The marketing for it [...]

I saw an article recently about the success of wind power in Spain . Made me wonder how we compare to other countries in terms of what percent of our electricity comes from wind, but a quick Google search didn't turn up much of an answer. So, as usual, I collected the data and made myself a chart. Click on it for a larger version: That's us in red, way down in fifteenth place, getting about 1.3% of...

They're trying to sell farmers on the idea... When the BBC runs one of its propaganda campaigns in favour of windfarms, as Farming Today was again doing recently, the only point of interest is how many of the basic facts they leave out. One thing they invariably try to conceal is how derisory is the amount of electricity these windmills produce. Although Farming Today interviewed one of the sternest...

According to the African Wind Energy Association (AfriWEA) "Much of Africa lies within the equatorial belt which, due to the effects of atmospheric heating and the earth's rotation, has a lower wind resource compared to countries in more extreme latitudes." However, wind energy has begun to take hold of the imaginations and landscapes of a number of African nations. Kenya has become the continent's...
