Do any libs understand that they have to get a life before it can have any quality?
Since it is only affecting five of the 126 wind farms in the UK, is aerodynamic modulation (which I take to mean ‘beats and resonance’) in this context caused/enhanced by topography (ie are the wind farms that exhibit aerodynamic modulation in, say, relatively flat areas?), and/or is it related to the relative positions of the turbines?
They seemed to have narrowed it down to a few poor designs. The guinea pigs just happen to be human. The business of global warming will move on...
Oh... sorry, wrong environmental protest.
After all, these people should be thankful, the windfarms are there to keep them from getting too warm--for free.
Shoveling snow causes increased metabolic rates and the emission of additional carbon dioxide and water vapor (both greenhouse gasses) when compared to the same individual at rest. Sounds like a cold climate could be self correcting.../sarc, of course.
More likely the blade design interacting with the pylon (support pole) shape and position.
But, it's not a question of lack of electricity. It's a question of responsible, renewable, environmentally friendly electricity. You can get the other kind from regular power plants - or even nukes.
An old man came upon a friend who asked him how he was doing?
The old man said, “Wonderful! I just bought a new hearing aid. It’s the most powerful, technologically advanced, and most expensive hearing aid money can buy.”
The friend said, “Wow! What kind is it?”
The old man answered, “Oh, about 4:30.”
To imagine that a sea of wind turbines will be a reliable solution the mass energy crisis is not a realistic answer.
Like I said, a few of them in isolated applications will work. If I had a 50 acre spread, I would have a wind turbine there, solar power, and anything else they come up with to augment my daily utility needs, but a wire to the powerplant would still be needed also.
That is o.k.
The muslims will see to it that you are not around long enough to really inconveince you.
It's amazing how many people will do exactly that.
And in every instance the airport was there first; by lots of years, usually.
Or oceanfront
If you don’t have an oil well, get one!
The liberals feel great that they have done something good for the environment and the local poor are stuck with the consequences.
Bingo.
You of course know those lines are traveling at 18 mph.
Nope. But the magnetic fields generated by the current in them (fields which are orders of magnitude greater than those created by simple household lines) flux some 50-60 times per second depending on whether they are in the US or Europe. That is what lights the bulbs.
That much field flux has been argued to be bad for most anything that breathes. YMMV.Part of the irony is that these things are being utilized to do away with alleged anthropomorphic global warming, when if we allow the globe to warm, we likely won't need as much power at northern latitudes.

True story today. I pull out of a parking lot and DW says: "did you run over a gopher?"
Puzzled, I say: "No".
DW screams: "GET OVER!"
