What I do like about the link above is that there are credible references in the biography. I've not had the urge to "check them out" yet however ...

It would be hard to do a check David, just look at the co2 amounts added by man compared to that added by nature depends where the stats come from, but I tend to go with those given on the link

Not hard to check at all, Colin, especially as the one I noticed is from Harvard, a university that prides itself on the publication of researched work ... when I said check, sorry to explain this as you're totally misreading my comment, is the veracity of the publications. As to the Co2 emissions, I don't give a tincker's cuss, nor do I have the inclination to go out and do the research. You've obviously never had a paper published by the sounds of it ...

Cheap electricity?

:banghead::banghead::banghead: They have announced that the 100 windmills built offshore where I reside, will be activated today. So tonight I will be able to run a 25 watt light bulb without fear of power cuts. The fact that it has blotted the seascape, endangered wildlife and will cost me 30% more for the power is a small price to pay, apparently. The ecological cost of all that cement poured into the ocean, not to mention the installation costs is ignored. I hope the bl--dy polar bears swim ashore here and bite their a--es.

Tidal power makes far more sense, tides flow predictably, wind in most places doesn't, water is more dense than air so smaller blades will generate the same or more power.

The installation does not give us a spoilt land/sea scape. It does not have to be a tidal barrage like they proposed for the river Severn estuary which could have environmental issues, destroying wildlife habitats etc.

(A) It is common sense
(B) No one can see them under water
(C) No one is getting ripped off

Therefore it is not getting the funding it deserves.

Latest announcement on the news re our wind fart - sorry - typo - wind farm. Total output enough for 200,000 homes. Expected output enough for 50,000 homes (our catchment area of the Isle of Thanet is app. 100,000). Extra subsidy to be charged on our electricity bills is +14%.
Good game.
