It is apparently 'worse than we thought'...... Hundreds of offshore wind turbines in UK waters need emergency repairs after they started eroding within a few years of being installed. Owners of the 175-turbine London Array wind farm off Kent, the biggest offshore farm in the world, and the 108-turbine West of Duddon Sands wind farm off Cumbria have applied to the Marine Management Organisation for permission to carry out urgent repairs. The London Array was completed in 2013 and West of Duddon Sands a year later. Both use a type of turbine made by Siemens Gamesa, which has admitted that the leading edge of the blades — the part that slices through the air when the turbine turns — is being eroded much faster than expected on some of the machines.......www.thetimes.co.uk/article/london-array-offshore-wind-turbines-near-kent-wearing-too-fast-qdv76g7cmSo they were installed in 2013 and 2014 and now after 5 years require emergency repairs. That's not a long term investment. Expect the company to declare bankruptcy and the directors to go subsidy farming elsewhere in the near future.

When close examination reveals that a lot of "green" may really only be a parasitic form of pond scum (no insult meant to normal p-scum as it may often serve a useful biological purpose). Was Gaia-wind the manufacturer of those wonders whose leading edges are self destructing after two years?

Was Gaia-wind the manufacturer of those wonders whose leading edges are self destructing after two years? So remove the subsidies and the subsidy farmers go bankrupt. Quelle surprise!! Note that they say: "He went on: "The board has worked hard over a long period of time to develop a sustainable business in wind energy. With almost 2,000 wind turbines installed mainly in UK and Europe as well as Australia, Tonga and Alaska, an opportunity presents itself for someone to purchase the service, maintenance and spare parts aspect of the business."As we have seen the life of these windmills is surprisingly short so any business working to repair them could find a marked reluctance among customers to continue to shovel money into these subsidy farm markers once the 'feed in' guaranteed purchase of electricity at stupidly high rates subsidy also goes away. What will SA do when their windturbines literally grind to a halt in possibly as short as 5 years time? Building 'fossil fuel' baseload power generation could take more than 5 years particularly when all the regulations and laws in the state are written to stop those power stations being built. I suspect there may be refugees moving to Queensland

[ Snip ] I suspect there may be refugees moving to Queensland I do hope not! The South Aussies have a certain fashion je ne sais quoi as demonstrated by former Premier, Don Dunstan .... On a brighter - and unexpected - note: SA Election 2018

Labor declares victory in the Batman by-election ROBIN Decimates Batman
Xenophon's SA Best comes from nowhere and "Breaks Wind".
Did I get that right? Love your party names.

The same applies to UK and now to Europe where the energiegewende infection that has crippled South Australia first started. All based on rose tint glasses and mythical thinking made into policy by virtue signalling politicians.

Some comments from article. Seems that the Pee's have it. And y'all being disarmed and all. Geoff May 7, 2018 at 3:33 pm Political Energy (PE) Global Warming has clearly reduced the net wind in NY state and its surrounds. CO2 emissions must be reduced or there will be no reliable political electrical energy (PEE). This can only be done by ceasing ALL other forms of unacceptable political electrical energy (uPEE), eg coal, nuclear, hydro and methane. Allowing uPEE will reduce CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere in NY State. If NY State can convince Donald Trump that uPEE will make the United States Great Again, we can expect the benefits of a uPEE policy to make the US seem nice to everyone who needs to PEE but cannot convince their electorates that PEEing is good for energy prices and reliability. Stormy Summers has agreed to continue PEEing on Trump until he agrees to uPEE via a UN mandate (UNuPEE). The State of NY and California have agreed that only Russian hookers can PEE on Trump and are pursuing a policy of support for Summer’s PEEing as long as it is on Trump, not them, despite previous stormy relationships with summers. Reply John harmsworth May 7, 2018 at 3:39 pm Whoo-pee!
