Wind Turbines - The Argument Against
Wind turbines are only kept aloft, as it were, by massive subsidies based on the assumption that wind is free, clean and desirable, but in almost complete ignorance of the nature of :
The unique nature of the UK power generation and distribution system
The requirements imposed on the electricity network for statutory limits on the variations of voltage and frequency
The need for existing thermal stations to continue to run as the synchronous base into which the windies can feed, but saving precious little fossil fuel
The assumed but faulty conclusion that mankind is responsible for global warming by virtue of the burning of fossil fuels, and that “we” must stop global warming and save the planet.
Now, where do you want to start and how long have you got?

PS. I agree that any turbine is a beautiful thing, but then I’m a professional electrical engineer!!
