The pathetic energy density of wind power is just another reason why it is so insanely expensive, compared to any meaningful power source.
The bigger turbine, the further apart they need to be spread – so that the dirty wake of one turbine doesn’t affect the airflow to any turbine downwind and, thereby, reduce its output and/or wreck its blades and running gear (see above).
Britain’s PM, Boris Johnson has hatched a plan to thoroughly encircle his islands with these things, throwing something like an additional £50 billion in over the market contracts and government subsidies at foreign-owned wind power outfits, which – in a country that will take decades to recover from its self-imposed lockdown recession – is positively bonkers.
Now it seems, that on the numbers, Johnson’s grand plan is even crazier, still. Dr John Constable reports.
