I often see these off shore when i'm at the coast and I've often wondered just how much energy they actually produce.

Reading a report on the ones off shore at Holland On Sea i was surprised to see that they actually provide energy to 120k homes in the Colchester area from just 48 turbines.

I can see many more of these popping up although i think inland they look awful

I actually think they look quite graceful. Who cares what they look like, if it helps slow down climate change then its all good surely?

Our electric cars are going to require them all in the future too. wink

I was surprised how much energy they actually produced so its all good

They don't provide energy to specific places. They provide the equivalent of this. It all goes onto the National Grid.

Apologies if you're aware, but it annoys me when I see Govt and developers use this ploy.
Its ok, its sort of what i meant but my delivery was poor.
