windfarm [redux]

Cheers, good expression.

bonfire i thought i was asking questions and if you look all i got was flack.

as i said I am after information so I can make and educated decision thats all

the tarago bungendore proposal puts eagles nests right in the middle of the project but Im sure someone will tell the eagles where they can fly so they wont get hurt

I have heard that horses abort if under the high voltage power grid does anyone know what effects the power grid underground will do to stock and if or how it will effect the water supply eg bores and dams

occording to overseas reports it effects the milk supply in cattle. is this true or not. i dont know what to believe anymore thats why i am after information please help

thumper wind turbine technology has greatly increased in the last 30 years, especially in the last ten years.

many of the complaints regarding noise have been addressed.

i wandered around the german state of Dithmarschen which faces the north sea and it has wind turbines of all vintages dotted everywhere. i slept in a house less than a kilometre from one, with an open window and couldnt hear it. i walked up to one and could only hear whooshing.

the efficiency of turbines has improved dramatically, as has reliability and cost of manufacture.

the chpping of bird flocks is largely a furphy which is conveniently promoted by softheads. proper placement of the turbines away from nesting areas prevents this.

you have to allow technologies to be developed to realise benefit from them. fortunately europeans have embraced wind power and he large scale manufacture has led to rapid development and lowering of cost. if nuclear power had been allowed to develop instead of becoming a political green potato, we might have no need for coal fired power today.

missymagoo – if you had read a few entrys here before posting away you would find that you cant expect anything you say to go unchallenged.

and because someone doesnt agree with you doesnt make them wrong or uneducated. its called debate.

– and the object of much derision on RA.

NIMBY

Not In My Back Yard.

Not normally a hippy as much as a keen writer of letters to the Canberra Times.

Stupid question time! Q: What is a NIMBY? A hippie would be my guess.

Oh yeah and I support the windfarms. For too long the breeze has just been blowing around uselessly. Time to put it to use.

Better still, Missy, apply the flame to Maelinar’s posterior and you’ll definitely be ‘one of us’:)
Windfarms: makes sense.
Solar: makes more sense.

Missy, another reason why you may have caught unecessary flames is because you are not known. This site has conveniently been used in the past as a forum for people to get their agenda across to MLA’s whom they know read this site.

If you want an example of that, simply type Atlas Cedar, or Ainslie, or GDE into the search box.

Stay a while, get a few more posts under your belt, and people will react less harshly.

cuts back on the chocking smog

Hands up everyone who lives in choking smog in Australia.

….

Cmon now. Remember, not just a smell in the air or a haze on the horizon, it has to choke you.

….

Anyone?

Bring on the wind farms I say. No real reason , I just think it would be worth investigating thats all.

thankyou for you tip thumper
I have never used a site for help or to seek information before
I will take aboard your advise
thanks

thumper thanks for your comments i appreciate the kindness.

.
I have wind and solar power it was more expensive than the electricity authority but it is small and not intrusive even though a littly noisy at times.

woodlawn has been approved for turbines

east of lake george has proposed 63 125 mt tall with 80 mts across for blade

west of lake george they are planning another farm

and they are also at cooma thats besides the hall ones and possibly molongo so our countryside will no longer be hill but turbines if they all go ahead

. anyway can anyone tell me what effect these power grids have on breeding stock and what effect vibration has on surrounding homes

. I know they have already paid some people out in the southern parts as the vibration was too much for them to stay on their property.

does anyone know anything eg what type of soil would produce vibration eg sandy granite basalt etc any information to help me decide if these are going to be a benefit or not thanks for you interest and you valuable input negative or positive.

the problem is that we all want to be able to flick a switch and voila, lights, tv’s , washing machines all chug away. Its all takes electricity that we seem to take for granted. what choice do we have ??

I’d rather have a renewable if slighty ugly wind generators in the hope that it cuts back on the chocking smog that we get from coal fired power stations.

missy – ask your mum or dad first

or ring up the one whose snout has recently got out of the a bit of the trough

don’t be sucked in oh thumping one
