More on the wind farm

It seems that Murdo was more sober than we thought and 8 or 9 really is a good number.
Angus's puppy's look great and I might even have one myself yet.
However there are some facts that I picked up from a European energy company who know about these things even more than Murdo knows.
Wind farms currently (excuse the pun) are only 19% efficient even when placed off-shore.
The average efficiency is only 10%.
That means for instance that a 100 Kilowatt generator will only produce 10Kilowatts and only for 36.5 days per annum.
The rest of the time the wind isnt blowing hard enough, or more like it here, its blowing too hard and the thing shuts off.
So, my question is, who wants to watch TV for 36.5 days a year even if there was anything good on to watch.
What happens to the stuff in the freezer for the other 329 days a year.
It doesnt stack up does it?
However, the tide is always there and if we took up the causeway and placed three turbines under it, and then reinstated the road, that might be a different kettle of fish.
Thats if you go in for fish kettles - although they are making a comeback I hear.

Is it all over?
Is it safe to come out now?
I got the puppy from Angus, I'm going to call her ......, now what am I going to call her?
Angus gave me a sticker saying "dogs are for life, not just for xmas"
We had turkey, I never even thought of a dog for xmas - well it wouldnt be right would it?
The sticker wouldnt stick to the boat and floated off into the bay.
Although I dont drink, I thought I would take a dram at New Years, just for medical research purposes you understand. Me and the wee dog bringing in the new year in the moonlight.
So just in case I dont get on here before Le deagh dhurachd
