if wind farms are not bad enough at wasting money they are now downright dangerous, Europe's largest wind farm was shut down after a blade snapped off one of the huge turbines, operators said today, all 140 turbines at the Whitelee wind farm on Eaglesham Moor near Glasgow are being inspected by engineers following Friday's incident,
Scottish Power Renewables said mechanical failure or a lightning strike could be to blame for the breakage, which it described as 'highly unusual', well I guess lightning is a fairly unusual phenomena in Scotland if that is to blame,
but here, apart from the reliability problems is the thing for me, it is Europe's largest wind farm, it has 140 huge energy inefficient turbines and supplies? a pitifully small number of homes, just 180,000, oh I forgot, that is if the wind is blowing! please everybody follow what some commentators say is happening in Europe, get rid of wind farms and go nuclear.
