So Centrica has got the green light to expand its windfarm off the Lincolnshire Coast. Great but!
My questions are:- why have we NO facilities to build Wind Turbines in this Country?
We must have the potential to be the biggest wind powered country in Europe so who's benefiting?
What energy goes into building turbines and putting them up in the North Sea? Is there a Net benefit?
If it wasn't for the Government Subsidy (the ROCs) would it be worth while for Centrica?
I would love to put a Turbine in my garden but the planning laws etc are so restrictive. All the NIMBYs don't want Turbines spoiling their views!! but on a domestic scale we have TV aerials, Satellite dishes, Motorways etc. Help please David Cameron - get the Government to make small domestic turbines as acceptable as a Satellite dish.
In the long run we need to use LESS energy. Less flying around, see my blog about Energy Saving Bulbs. If (when) people really can't afford to put Petrol in their cars things will change. We have the technology to build lightweight cars running on Electricity. If we divert the money going into Nuclear technology into alternative sources of power we'll solve the problem.
Look at www.watergaspower.com - yes you can run your car on WATER!
