There are numerous Wind Farms in the UK either high on the hills or even off shore. I hadn't studied them much, but we did come across one which I thought I would look at a little closer upon the moorlands around Todmorden.

There were twenty four turbines blowing merrily in the wind, very little noise at all and apart from looking somewhat ridiculously out of place they didn't appear to be doing any harm at all.




It's quite surprising just how big they are, once you get up close to them though.




There is an interesting link here, it's worth reading the data if like me, you are ignorant of the basics with regard to these implements.

I certainly have a different and more acceptable opinion regarding the same now.

The twenty four units here supply electricity to some 6,000 homes. That's impressive.
