Wind power hopelessly uneconomic?

[sparkey321]

Firstly I wish to make a personal comment. Do any contributors to this or other threads really believe that I or anybody in S of I are influenced at all by comments on our credibility, good or bad.

No I don't, not for a second.

But what about potential investors ? Or the press ? Would you care about their opinion ?

Investors will be able to read a 300 page prospectus, and the press will make up its own mind, my point, which I believe you will at least privately concur with, is that you cannot change the laws of physics to suit a particular project.

Spirit of Ireland set out to mediate renewable intermittancy and that has an upfront energy cost of up 25 per cent, pay it and move on is our mantra, whereas the conventional line is to pay over the odds via open cycle gas plants.

That's the problem.
I have yet to come across a journalist who actually understands the ins and outs of energy and then demonstrate an semblance of an understanding of the market in this country.
As a result, we read hysterical nonsense on an almost daily basis, even in the so-called papers of repute.

Alas, SirCharles is caught lying again. The "deep experience of scientific research, economics and technical innovation" referred to Obama's advisors, not to GiG. But you lied to make it appear like a self-reference.

I wasn' lying there and not before. I was leaning on a previous post of mine.
Accusing me being a liar does not put your previously made false accusations against me into a better light.

PS: "Green energy denier"? FFS whatever next? Will "green energy deniers" get rounded up and put in special camps?

I wrote: "GreeIsGood (what an alias for a green energy denier)".
Do you want to make another fairy tale out of it?

"GreeIsGood", you previously did false allege that I was writing statements I did not post. Now you call me a liar. You're obviously not playing the ball, you prefer playing the man. In a football match you would have seen the red card for doing that.
