Anyone fancy and alternate day out this w/e.

If you want a lightly educational day out with the Kids, or not you might be interested in...

Visit a Wind Farm

 

[MBManInKen]

Or, for those a little bit more adventurous:

Do the Chernobyl tour...

 

[Dieselman]

Now that could be interesting, especially on a cold day....
Only advised for those that don't mind being a bit nuked though so maybe not too Kiddy friendly.

Gives glowing in the dark a whole new dimension .

<note to self> - do not buy Grav's E55

 

[Dieselman]

I AM a wind farm.

I understand that's why Shell pulled out of the London Array project. Too much localised wind on occasions.

Mainly late Friday night.

I reckon an e55 might run on methane gas

Unless we have the runs!!!

Too much baked beans. Wind farms are considered anti-social.

Remedy-take charcoal tablets.

Every wind farm needs a conventional power plant as a back up. Uranium, coal, oil and gas all keep going at Beaufort 0.

Uh, oh. A Bart Simpson comment..

Time for some research on power plant duty cycles I think and nuclear power generation issues.

Any updates on what struck the windfarm in Lincolnshire. Surely what ever it was left some debris ?

 

[wemorgan]

Here are some various theories.

'Blade just fell off
The most likely explanation, according to Fraser McLachlan whose firm insures thousands of turbines. He says that there are half a dozen instances of blades separating from turbines a year, usually because they were not properly attached. "Sometimes machines just break," he said. The blade that flew off could have hit the other blade, explaining the damage.'

 

[jonnyboy]

Am i right in remembering that there was no debris ever found, which gave weight to the UFO theory?

Up to now, I understand that you are correct.

Who said there was no debris found.? The article says there was no plane debris found, following thoughts it could have been an aircraft strike.

They also report the blade came loose from the mounting hub.
