The Myth Is Blown.
A study has shown that Britain has the best wind in Europe, simply because it never stops blowing, and that it delivers most power when demand is highest.
I could have told them that - I live in the Highlands.
This undermines the protesters biggest argument against wind power, that it is intermittent and unreliable.
Surely the action groups should shut up now and let the turbines go up, and then do something useful like picking up litter.

there's no way the action groups will give up despite the reliability (tediousness?) of our wind!
there's been a recent proposal for a windfarm near where I work, and the protestors are out in force. it seems to me that their main argument against this clean, reliable, renewable form of energy is that it spoils the view from their expensive, soon-to-be devalued houses...

I've just had a wicked urge to relate all this to, "wind" as in flatulence.
Typical eh? I will refrain.

Colcam,
Where do you live? Surely not in the vicinity of one of these fuck-up wind farms? This is flawed technology, linked to the south by the horribly intrusive giant pylon line. This is rape of the landscape for electricity we don't need. Check the subsidy situation out and you'll see what's at the core of it. Springtime for the bigtime money boys, wintertime for Scottish tourism. It stinks.

Thanks for commenting, Three Gates.
No wind farms right here at the moment, but that will change and I don't mind. Landscape doesn't keep the lights on. The proposed mega-pylons will pass very close to here though.
Tourist wintertime? Bring it on! I need some effing peace.
As for not needing the power, I disagree. Would you object to a couple of nuclear power stations in your area, or a nice set of coal burning ones?
Perhaps the effects of climate change are not so noticeable in the Stirling area, but up here it is all too obvious, I'm afraid.

Thanks Kats.
Flatulence?
That must be something to do with house prices when a wind turbine spoils your view :)

Sarkasmo, a great money making idea - but a bunch of people who don't live here would start protesting if I wanted to build a bottling factory the size of a garden shed.
It would spoil the pretty view of all that under-used land.
