It just got me thinking, if the wind out at sea is high, then windmills surely would be perfect to power ships? If they generate enough power….
Dave K – i’m talking about ships, or tankers!
The wind blows and moves on by.
Then later another wind blows usually from a different direction and moves on by.
The way the UK government talks it seems to think that there’s this great big lump of wind whizzing round the Earth all the time.
It didn’t seem to be like that when I was taught geography!
In fact thinking back to my days in Physics they taught me that energy could not be created or destroyed E=mc^2 and stuff like that!
So energy can not possibly be renewed if it can’t be destroyed.
Or maybe the Government has legislated so much that they have manged to change the basic Laws of Physics?
Clean, renewable energy is becoming a core part of Puget Sound Energy’s power supply. PSE’s goal is to meet up to 10 percent of its customers’ total electricity need with cost-effective renewable resources by 2013. A major step in that direction is PSE’s ownership and operation of two large wind farms in Washington state. More info located at: www.pse.com

There is currently a propostition to build a wind farm in my area, and there has been a lot of opposition to this. Me and my friends have been campaigning for the farms, but there are very few who are doing the same.
Just wanted to see what the overall consensus was really, and how each side can justify their argument.
