Certainly true for PV solar,but my understanding is that wind and non-PV solar this is not true.

The one planned behind us (8 turbines 125m tall)would require various roads to be rebuilt and the turbines to be transported across the country from where they are made in Wales.
They would not be able to be active all the time not just due to wind dropping, but also excessive winds in the area, estimates put them at 30% efficiency (which is the national average I think).
Plus the usual concrete pollutants, 20 year MAX lifespan, untested engines, etc. And then you start considering environmental issues like wildlife killed (turbines kill bats not through collision but air pressure changes crushing their ribcages) and peoples lives disrupted my house would be less than a km from the first turbine, someone elses about a quarter of a km.
They are money grabbing cnuts. making a quick buck before the laws are changes to a 2m minimum distance from homes (like there is in Europe) which would cancel something like 80% of current proposed windfarms onland. Oh and they want to do these onland ones because its cheaper for them even though the wind levels/energy produced is massively less than at sea. See they couldn't give a fuck about energy production, they just want that subsidy. Rargh! Rant! happytoast has gone off on one again, get the tranquiliser gun.
