OT - Wind Turbines - Ed Davey opens England’s largest onshore wind farm ...next to a mothballed gas fired power station

"Ed 'I haven't got a ****ing clue' Davey MP, Secretary of State for Energy and
Climate Change, today opened SSE’s Keadby Wind Farm - England’s largest onshore
wind farm"

What the small print doesn't say is this 68MW* of wind turbine capacity is sited
right next to a mothballed 735MW gas fired power station...owned by SSE.

http://sse.com/whatwedo/ourprojectsa...ypowerstation/

* 68MW possibly occasionally produced on a maybe basis now and again in a random
manner

Remember the name Ed Davey, remember the company SSE.

Post 7th May 2015 check what he is doing.

I drove past our local eyesore turbines yesterday, when there was a
wind blowing, and not one of them was rotating. Funny that.

I'll ask him about that next time he comes around.
Actually, he is not a bad bloke, but way out of his depth in my view. You
know he used to advise foreign postal services on efficiency.

They were feathered - now they just need tatarring.

Ta-ta, as in 'Goodbye'? Yep, agreed.

Thinking about it as well, if they were tar-black as opposed to white,
they might not be such a blot on the landscape. The old airfield they
are built on is now an industrial estate, so no aircraft there to worry
about.

Black is used for RAF training aircraft as it shows up well against the
sky. Perhaps they could be painted sky blue instead, or maybe grey would
blend in better with the average British sky.

Pink was used for a while in WW2

During my apprenticeship, I discovered that the pastel green used for
most of the control gear was specified as *Aircraft grey green*.

Is that an official Airfix/Humbrol paint colour? Tesco are offering the
Dam Busters Lancaster at discount at the moment, and you can use those
stupid coupons that never seem to be of any use.
