In the case of the turbines near Parkway Sheffield I don't think the proper
procedures were follewed, by they normally are. The Sheffield turbines have
had another spectacular failure, by the way.

Meanwhile they are allowing a turbine to be installed on a school playing
field, whilst banning cellphone towers. What a set of bloody idiots we have
running out local councils.


Meanwhile on a new school roof in Cleckheaton (All right, all right.
get it over with, it's not *that* funny) is adorned with the things
like candles on a birthday cake. they look to be about 3 metres in
diameter and about 5 metres high off the roof. (see website below).

The small matter of the boundary layer concerns me. No doubt when they
are finished and turn out not to generate anything like the power they
have been "designed" to do it will be portrayed as a failure of
British Engineering.

A similar project here ...
