Started counting one clear day, got to 80 and rather lost interest. They've certainly had a windy couple of years. The question is what is their working life? Planning applications usually give a working life of 20 years and some are now already more than half-way through this. A more important point is what happens when the 20 years is up? Will they be left as rusting monuments or replaced by even larger turbines? Phil 40 miles N. of Inverness Thanks Phil. I was looking at the latest OS 1:50000 map of my 1970's undergraduate mapping area between Loch Awe and Loch Fyne (nr Inveraray) and guess what? - the An Suidhe Wind Farm with 23 turbines. I suspect, given current (aha!) thinking on power generation they will be replaced. Perhaps fracking is the way to go for Scotland? Can of worms coming up!!! Phil Light touch paper and stand clear did cross my mind. -- George in Swanston, Edinburgh, 580'asl www.swanstonweather.co.uk www.eppingweather.co.uk www.winter1947.co.uk Well it is gas , so what did you expect |
