The wind farm debate
Wind energy is proportional to the cube of wind speed, so relatively minor increases speed leads to significant changes in production potential. Individual turbines vary in size and power of a few hundred watts to two or three megawatts (for information, a household would average 2.5 to 6 kilowatts, depending on the location and size of household).
Also uses although the very small turbines supplying energy for battery charging systems (eg on boats or in homes), for wind turbines grouped in the electricity supply network.
In Saddleworth, near Greater Manchester, an eco-war about wind turbines is course. United Utilities want to build 350 wind turbines seven feet.
These will generate enough energy to meet electricity needs averaging 8500 households in the local area. This wind farm is not found in the sea, but in the picturesque hills of the Saddleworth Moors and is visible for miles. The objectives of the State Government that 10% of energy in the UK must be supplied by renewable sources by 2010 and developments, like the Saddleworth Moor turbines would contribute to this total. Main environmentalists across the country have asked earlier in Saddleworth for the first National Forum to oppose the creation of wind farms in rural landscapes.
TV botanical world renowned Professor David Bellamy, joined former press secretary Downing Street, Sir Bernard Ingham and hundreds of activists of the Wind Energy Group National Conference. A total of over 50 representatives of environmental groups across the country to this event. His goal was to raise awareness about the perceived dangers of wind farms and bring environmental groups closer together in their fight against the government.
The Action Group Saddleworth Moors said the turbines would have a negative impact on a unique landscape. The group also insists campaign is not motivated by "not in my backyard" sentiments, but by a genuine desire to preserve the character of the region.
One could argue that the government is not concerned about the environment are continually finance the construction of coal power plants in the developing world and strengthening airports more motorways in Britain? Because the tension in Iran and Nigeria, which led to oil prices have increased, Not the ideal time to exploit wind energy on land and sea through grants for businesses? With work from slipping into local elections in 05/06 and the Conservatives pushing the eco argument, is not of interest in communications following the initiative and non-Conservative spokesman for wind farms, as they do today?
Or
People who live near wind farms and see things every day change his mind and thinks that wind turbines are a concerted effort to save the environment or simply an advertisement money making scheme for companies involved?
