Default Windmill nonsense.. Tilting at Wind mills

Hmm; talk about 'hand-waving'; Where's the _numbers_?


Feel free to look them up, there are a number of reports on the
subject should you wish to do so. The SDC report on the subject is a
good starting point and has the references.

! Six months - eight months!
Which is it?


You are assuming that all wind turbines are the same. However, they
are not and they are not all installed in the same location either.
As a result there is some variability.

The BWEA claims thus reflect the complications. Personally I would
be suspicious of one figure, it would suggest that an Alastair
Campbell had sexed up the output of the experts in order to make it
look "better" to the public.

I expect next that David will croon 'Things can only get better!'


Nice try, but rather wide of the mark.
