ok, mr smartypants.
you might like to tell me how many wind turbines were in this country 20 years ago,
& how many there are today ?.
up to 60% our electricity demand has been generated in recent days by wind turbines.
you might also like to let me know how much was generated in windy days 20 years ago ?
our climate change expert mr Val here, has informed us that Germany has been generating so much electricity by renewables aver the Christmas period, that the amount generated exceeded the demand.
don't think that happened either 20 years ago, mr smartypants.
geez Val - why didn't you tell that to the other expert here - apart from your good self, that is, of course -
The Rev Peter MacWhinger.
if you had done so, he mightn't have made an amadán of himself by suggesting to us that we should be "suspicious" because all of the wind turbines in the State weren't operating closer than they are to 100% rated capacity !
I am only reporting on what was in the paper and what I read in the Caelectric accounts. 400 million of debts and 92 million pumped into it by the National Pension reserve fund. 32 million of a loss last year and over 40 million of a loss over the last 2 years.
Bank of Ireland in the hole for 352 million of debt.
That is just denial, there is no issue discussed. I prefer to read it from exports.

ah no Turbs.
what I was doing was asking mr smartypanys a few questions,
in an effort to educate him as to how wind generators & renewable in general 'have come to the fore' over the past couple of decades,
in an effort to limit & reduce CO2 emissions.
& BTW Turbs - any news of that Ice Age that you told us was starting "soon" ?
I hear the weather is turning a bit cold this weekend.
maybe that will be the start of your Ice Age, Turbs ?
LOL !!!!!!!!
