Windfarms have become a blight imposed on our countryside by politicians, driven by an emotive green agenda which has no intelligent concept of the facts!
Relative to power station energy costs, onshore installations are double and offshore, triple by comparison.We also have to contend with the 24% efficiency of windfarms, reduced further by transmission losses of 30%, to conclude that this system of energy procurement must now be minimised.
We also have a crippling financial burden borne by the taxpayer to subsidise windfarms during shutdown and green supplements imposed by stealth on consumer costs.
The solution lies in a policy of energy optimisation with a minimum of impact on the environment!
We need base load nuclear, with load driven natural gas systems, linked to compact efficient turbines generating power on demand.
Deployment of windfarms out of sight, to remote or island communities will have the least impact on the environment and effectively back up the national grid, instead of being a mainstream system.
Marine generation within our own tidal systems, must also be an option for energy supply, as the cost of importing oil and gas is subject to market variation and disruption.
