An information resource about Wind Turbines, bringing together the best of news, information and articles.
Why we are doing what we are doing
This site has been created because we are concerned about inappropriately large wind turbines.
We are not anti-wind or anti-renewables and we haven't objected to the smaller developments in the area. However, recently there have been projects at various stages of planning that are three and four times the size of any of the turbines that are currently in the area. Unlike the existing Turbine projects, these benefit the few, to the massive detriment of the community.

How big is a 65m Wind Turbine?
The Wallace Monument, which is visible from Fife, is 62m high. See how it compares to one of the "medium" sized wind turbines. Imagine what an 85m "medium" sized turbine would look like.
This is brilliant! Why dont we attach turbines to all major tall buildings (such as the monument). This would help them boost income too?

ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun idea, I'll have to see what I can do to the Statue of Liberty!
