Good one, Poirot !

I support wind-farms, I think they are beautiful, but I don't pretend that they are CO2-neutral. In fact, a friend was just pointing out that Denmark, which has almost the highest level of energy generated by wind-towers in he world, out in the Baltic and North Seas, has experienced an increase in CO2 levels since they were put in. Why ?

Because the energy generated is intermittent - you can't let wind-towers run when the wind is too high (who knew ?), the things blow apart. So coal-powered land-based power stations have to be kept running to make up the shortfalls. Pity about that.

But by all means let's built wind-farms and solar arrays, etc. The companies which make the concrete and steel should pay their share of carbon tax, which then can be devoted in part to tree-planting. In part, Poirot, don't mis-quote me.

But let's face it, wind-farms are one of the answers to clean energy (so of course they should be built) BUT they are not an answer to CO2 reduction. Go for it, but do it with eyes wide open.

Do you have anything positive to contribute ? I look forward to it, if you ever do :)

Cheers :)

Australia has just had its hottest September on record [read any news paper report for confirmation].
And consider too we have seen those headlines many times in the past ten years.
Not just about us but the world.
Ice melting heat and rain floods and fire as a dried our bush burns.
Seems us believers have links in high places getting all those fraudulent story's printed.
Or? just maybe something is taking place.
