Muttley Dec 2024 9:15am, 8 Dec 2024 3,629 posts	Quote Pin Muttley I notice that the wind turbine up the road has been switched off for the past couple of days. Storm Darragh apparently too much for it. But the leccy storages must be overflowing now with wind generation so hopefully we'll have another freebie session soon?
Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) Dec 2024 9:37am, 8 Dec 2024 51,551 posts	Quote Pin Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) 2 reasons turbines turned off - too string,risk of damage or too much wind so too much lectticity to use (or store but we have only tiny amounts of storage). Needs investment in massive amounts of storage, including home batteries and electric cars for all! G

Also puzzles me that nobody has made tidal flow generation a goer yet. Big tides here in west Cornwall and they had a go recently but gave up. Wind and sun are unreliable but the tides aren't. I guess the numbers don't work at the mo.
