Sunak's ban on new wind turbines

travelsafar

I'd love a wind turbine of a smaller size in my garden or in-between mine and next door neighbours house..the gap is like a wind tunnel when we open our side gates and the sails would be turning most of the time. We would both be able to 'grow' our own electricity supply. Wish someone would design a smaller version for people to purchase and have installed.

There are domestic wind turbines on the market already. They vary in price and output. A quick Google will point you in the right direction.

DB, a civil engineer, worked on a similar project more than 30 years ago. If only it had been put in place then.

We already have two wind farms out at sea on the Suffolk coast. They don’t present us with any problem as they are 27 miles away.
Another company (can’t remember the name) are planning another where the turbines will be much closer in and directly in front of our seaside cottage.

I’ve never understood why they can’t make use of the wave power . The sea is a force of nature waiting to be harnessed.

It is the Tory MPs - a group are rebelling against the U-turn.

It makes absolute zero sense to ban wind energy - it is free and pollution free.

Why wouldn’t you?

WM already took away funding from Renewables a few years ago.They seem hellbent on Nuclear at a massive cost both to the budget and the environment .

Scotland produced enough renewable energy last year to power the whole of ourselves 5 times over .Of course our power is sent to the National grid meaning WM sells it back to us at extortionate prices....thats after they've charged us to put it on the grid in the firts place,
Seems they want to discourage energy from Wind and water and sun .Maybe because their mates aren't all getting a cut of it!!

Agree as we need all the help we can get to produce energy. They appear to be the safest option in that respect and to deter their production seems less than sensible.
