Jaffjoon Please help expand on wind farms? dont just say DUOR :-)
It’s a dilemma. I recall those hand held toys in the 80s with the brightly coloured fins swirling around viciously. I said then it would end in tears. Small children taking off, the planets delicate equilibrium forever disturbed.... truly sinister!
Eviking; I agree , but your sentence should have said "The better for us" but unfortunately it will not be better for generations to come since they have massive environmental effects that have not been documented to date. And that is my dilema.. should I profit from it now for myself or should I look to future generations and publish my damming findings ? Its an ethical question.

The more wind turbines we install the better:-))
Morrissey.... the sea does not distrupt weather patterns, it create’s / effects them with its tidal patterns... just like the moon has a massive effect on the sea and the most obvious sign of this is very high tides when it’s a full moon..... a 10 year old could tell you this
Yes, they potentially can, every wind turbine creates turbulence and in turn effects local air temperature amongst other things, install 20, 50 or 100’s of them and so on, then that turbulence becomes far more of an issue..... one of the many facts the greens like to ignore, they also have a horrific effect on wildlife, I could go on..... this isn’t opinion it’s known and studied facts. Give it 25 years then these facts won’t be so easy to ignore.
On a different note tomorrow could be a very blue day with the news from the gulf this wknd.
Ya what? Wind farms having material weather impacts? Heard it all now.
Do they cause drag on the earth's spin as well? Strong turbines
They’re all creeping back.
You could say the same about the effect of a city as a disruptor of wind and weather patterns. Or the sea. Or clouds. Or the moon. On top of that, since the Sahara was created by disrupted weather patterns – it used to be all green – perhaps a bit of a change wouldn't go amiss.
I understand that a lot of studies are being done as to the effect of wind turbines. You don’t get something for nothing... If you use the winds energy to turn a turbine that energy is then used so it can affect weather patterns (if you have large numbers). I’ve not looked myself to confirm If it’s true but a guy at work said that they were going to install a large wind farm in the Sahara but rejected the proposal due to the effects it would have on the weather patterns. I guess everyone, including scientists/ engineers are still learning/ gathering data.
Nah, publish and be damned. ASAP. Pronto. We all need a laugh
Bye the way. I don`t have a personal wind problem.. yet. However I do have an ethical problem with Wind Energy since although at present it "may seem" to be a renewable & green energy, the reality (which will emerge in future) is that it causes great damage to the environment in many ways. My report on this will take a while to prepare and submit and may be held back for release at an opportune moment. I have been invested in PFC for many years and a long time prior to discovering the problems with wind energy. However I was aware of the problems with fossile fuel / pollution etc and yet i still invested in PFC & oil companies for financial gain (pension). It is a dilema and ethical issue which I am beginning to struggle with. In addition ; Should I time the release of my damming report on wind energy to coincide with making financial gain from shares in involved companies ?? In short (& with hindsight) should I be more concerned with the future of humanity and a sustainable globe that has no negative impacts on nature OR, line my own pockets with menetary wealth regardless of the effect on this unique earth populated by the worse virus in our galaxy..... Humanity.
Too much of a deep subject for a Wednesday night !
