The impact of green energy.

Perhaps it's time we build more...

That’s the plan, renewable is the future, it’s just a shame we have to import most of the technology.

Absolutely, Norah !

Mr Trump isn't a fan of windmills, as he calls them. I would be interested to see how successful wave energy could be. We are surrounded by sea. Seems a shame not to use it.

already being researched in Scotland

There are naysayers wherever you turn, the facts are Solar repays its carbon input in 2 yrs, nuclear and wind in 7 months.

Renewable is the future, in the long term hydrogen but not yet

I would imagine we might have come on a pace Re recycling in 30 years time so no need for it to go to landfill.

We did indeed congratulate our G-Nephew. Interestingly where we are in France, there is a big push on increasing the number of wind farms, whereas the UK seems to be increasing offshore-we can see one from our bedroom at home. But then, France has more land than we do.

Ask him if his car goes to landfill 😊

Not that I want to cause an argument😮

He’s right, but I felt a bit squashed.

How do you know "he's right"? Where's the evidence for that? And what about all the waste and landfill from other sources of energy? Why is it that people who provide statistics about how awful green energy is never account for the byproducts of fossil fuels?

My DIL is an engineer with an international company. They are supporting the structure of wind turbines across the world, and are clear that renewables are the best plan for the future needs.
Tell your nephew to be proud 🦚.

There's always someone who wants to be a dark cloud of gloom and pessimism, and these days they always have the so called data to back it up.
Tell your brother in law to subscribe to Positive News!

I’m sure as time goes on there will be ways found to recycle the turbine blades rather than they become landfill. Perhaps this is well on the way?
Congratulations to your G nephew.

It’s good to hear that wind turbines are being built in the UK. It’s part of the green infrastructure we must build for future generations, so well done to your great nephew, he is helping to protect his baby’s future too.

Mollygo congratulations to your great nephew! You should be proud of him, and he should be rightly proud of himself.

Not to be disrespectful to your brother in law but none of us know what the world will be like in 20 years time or by 2050. I’m afraid your brother in law is the past, not the future.

You say ‘he’s right’ but we don’t know that he is. Creativity and innovation of youth will lead the world forward - it should never be squashed.

Thank goodness we have enthusiastic, positive young men like your great nephew, who want to ensure the world is habitable for future generations such as his new baby.

Celebrate his success and leave your BIL to his dinosaur views.

Coal and nuclear power generation produces far more waste.

Well, 30 years ago my home village was the first place in the U.K. to install a wind farm.

They were replaced a while back with bigger more efficient ones, not because the old ones were not working.

But in 30 years the wind farm has saved 840000 tonnes of carbon from entering the atmosphere and powers 60000 homes 😊

So tell your great nephew to be proud of his contribution to saving the world
