Subject: [sharechat] WIND POWER.

There must be a reason why they don't build more wind farms to generate power.  From a complete don't know anything about the subject point of view it must be the cost to set up and run.  It sounds like a great idea but being of inventing inclination( I know what happened to some of my inventions).It cant be economical.   I feel sure someone out there could enlighten some of us potential investors with what the problem is.   I am more inclined to think unlocking the gasses in water will end up the power source of the future for all forms of energy requirements. I always had the Idea that energy pods would work.   A large tube like a jet engine anchored in rivers, mouths of harbours etc.   could be out of sight under water with a line to the shore.  I had better leave all that to someone else I have enough on the bench as it is.   Trust power have a wind farm in victoria oz, any one know the economics of that.  I feel very sure it would be of great interest to us all If someone in the business could post a reply.

  The largest wind generators are about 1 megawatt.Huntly power station is 1000 megawatts.So crudely about 1000 windmills
would be needed for 1 Huntly.There is a place for wind generators,but would you want the whole countyside dotted with visual
pollution from vast number of wind mills.There are alternatives such a tidal power as a possibility.
