Renewable Energy (2)

In my last blog I did concede,to some extent, that wind farms could marr the countryside.But need this be the case if we consider wind farms with a 21st century viewpoint.
There is a definate demand for electrical energy,and it looks as if it won't get any less as the years increase. Some of the old methods of generating are becoming obeslete,and as far as nuclear plants are concerned,their demise wll make us all feel happier.
Wind and wave power are ,then, the most likely alternatives, as the Island Britain has an abundance of both wave and wind energy, the latter being our most immediate concern.
Wind turbines to be honest, are clean and efficient and have been tested world-wide.Considerating all modern day developments, tall buildings, various masts, oil rigs,and other unsightly constructions, wind farms blended with the country side, could well be considered a modern day art form. Remember, as I already stated, we live in the 21st century,of space exploration and experiments in art form never dreamed of before.
Anyway, I believe that when the government of the day sees the requirement for increased energy, and in spite of public opinion,the race will commence to its final destiny.

Glad your thinking about this Island Wanderer. You should check out the Scottish parliament forum on wind farms if you havent already.It will give you lots of information to back up your ideas about the contribution wind energy will make. Select windfarms in Scotland from the drop down menu:

What we want and what works are two different things sadly but at least there is a wide range of views in the forum rather than the well funded sales pitch from wind energy companies. Incidentally did you notice Argyll and Bute Councils Strategic Policy Committee has formed a partnership with a commercial power company. Its so reassuring to find huge commercial companies like Scottish Power are so closely linked with planning departments on issues such as renewable energy isn't it? May we also expect the classrooms of our schools to be filled with the sales pitch for wind farms rather than soft drinks companies for a change? We will watch with interest.

By the way did you see in the Oban Times 17th June 04 in the planning section: Applicant :MRC Energy Ltd. Proposal: Construction of Wood Fired Electricity (CHP) Power Station. Site Address: Marine Resource Centre Baracaldine, Oban Argyll.(CHP means Combined Heat and Power and will produce electricity (steam turbine) and hot water.) I was surprised not to find an article about it in the Oban Times as it seems quite interesting.
Back to work...summer leaves little time for blogging sadly but keep up the good work bloggers.
