Wind turbines - reliability

[EternalOptimist]

A non scientific observation.

I have just whizzed around a fair bit of europe, and (from the road) I noticed

France, fair few turbines, 90 % working hard
BeNeLux, some turbines, 90% working hard
Germany, Lots and lots of turbines, 75% working
Denmark, some turbines, 100% working
Norway, some turbines, 100% working
Sweden, some turbines, 90% working hard

Half the turbines I saw were in Germany. and 25% of those were busted.

thats a lot

Are you sure the stationary props weren't attached to Heinkels and Junkers waiting for orders?

no, those fokkers were wind turbines

Italy - zero turbines seen.



well done Italy. Scenary unspoiled. subsidies unspended. bono magnifico arrividerci. grazi. and a bon journo too.

Germany is the only country not to consult Diver.

Some massive solar PV arrays though

play to your strengths!

I just had my baldy patch wired into the Italian grid, and the power surge blew out half the street lights in Napoli
