Do not assume a wind turbine will run maintenance free forever.
I wonder how much fossil fuel is used making a turbine?
Nothing runs maintenance free for ever and fossil fuels are used in the
manufacture/transport of everything as well.
Will it need planning permission?
Probably, at least one capable of producing any useful power.
I believe solar panels might have a bit more going for them.
If only there were a cheap way of storing some of the heat we have
today.
Heat bank or thermal store, ie a large tank of water heated by what ever
means to 80C.
Might have got cold by February. I believe I did hear somewhere they
were pumping heat into the ground and recovering is later
