  • lol scudlington you are a fck tard yes it is 150 mw, and they pay for themselves in 3 years, sounds like a great investment to me, i would know i was up one this morning i am a turbine technician. Don't talk about things you know nothing about.

  • Gah, even from behind an LCD display, those turbine blades look like they're going to claw my eyes out every pass. Hehe.

see all

  • Nice video dude. Beautiful.

  • I heard Saskatchewan has a good economy. But what's the cost of living like?

  • Lets put things into context.

    A recent study (Sovacool,2009) in the journal. "Energy Policy", vol. 37 stated "wind farms killed approximately seven thousand birds in the United States in 2006 but nuclear plants killed about 327,000 and fossil-fueled power plants 14.5 million".

  • Nobody has to die for the fuel...that's true. But what isn't true is the 150MW output. At best it's 40MW and why oh why do windfarmists always have to use the analogy 'enough for x amount of thousands of homes?' Just total bull. Power has to be fed into the grid and from these mills; power that has peaks and troughs that make the Himalayas look flat. These things are symbolic only, cost all of us a fortune and the all important c02?...Well, you'd be better off corking a half empty bottle of coke

  • those are beautiful machines

  • Check out my vids on wind power...

  • I ment to say: "More or less uniform wind speeds THROUGHOUT THE YEAR".

  • "...The fuel is available in all countries..."

    Are you sure about that?

    I may be wrong, but I understood that only certain regions in the world have the uniform wind patterns required to really benefit from eolic energy.

  • Ahh i didnt know about theyr environmental factors :P but yes i agree about the future, but my theory goes like this

    "The future will look however we make it look"

    but yes, wind power is the future!!!
