Progress at last! Alternative energy is legitimate if the method is rational, efficient and reliable. Knowing the cultural mindset in the UK, the religion of Global Warming has often eliminated the former condition.
Industrial Wind Turbines fail under condition two and three under most circumstance. If siting guaranteed that locations would not harm the public health and safety of residents, then you can buy and rezone all the locations you want if you pay for the development out of private funds.
Now I’m well aware this is a foreign concept to the EU political system. Off shore locations that have consistent wind patterns may well be viable instillations.
Some of the intense object that has formed in the US is based upon our own laws like Anti-trust and RICO. The new “robber barons” aren’t building railroads, they are LLC foreign companies with several ex-Enron executives at the throttle.
Do some homework. Clipper Windpower is traded on the London exchange in order to avoid SEC reporting and regulation.
Check out the ownership bio’s of UPC (and the 100+ LLC’s family of shell game companies). One principal fled to London to do his business and to avoid potential litigation.
Now look into Iberdrola and the current row of its own hostile take over. NYS Public Service Commission has not approved the acquisition of Energy East (mid-Atlantic region) utility because of questionable circumvention of regulatory statues. The second largest worldwide Wind Turbine Developer wanting to take over electric utilities in the Northeast of the US will guarantee the doubling of electric utility rates in the near future.
Point is simple. Industrial wind turbines are not the correct alternative energy method for our region in the US.
Make a sincere effort to go beyond a ‘PC’ ideology and employ common sense.
