Gold FFM C8RKH Posted May 25, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 With the construction phase largely to blame, wind turbines emit slightly more particulate matter (PM), a form of air pollution, at an "exception" rate higher per unit of energy generated(kWh) than a fossil gas electricity station("NGCC"),[29][30] and also emit more heavy metals and PM than nuclear stations, per unit of energy generated. Modern wind turbine blades are made from plastic/fiberglass composite designs that provide a service lifetime of less than about 20 years.[53] As of February 2018, there was no economical technology and market for recycling these old blades, and the most common disposal procedure is to truck them to landfills.[54] Because of their hollow design, blades can take up enormous volume compared to their mass 1 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood.

Frickin_idiot Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 No - that'll be wrong also. I have come to the conclusion that whatever course of action is taken the enviromentalists will find something to moan about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricity - the answer to increased house prices. Yeah, says the company that wants to lease you an EV. Total bullshit. Bloody internet..... Might add a grand or two tops, more likely just means it will help it sell that tad bit faster.

Gold FFM Mysterae Posted June 16, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Had my long delayed visit by Home Energy Scotland and the interest free electric vehicle loan was mentioned. It's an interest free loan of up to £28,000 payable up to six years for a new pure electric car. A similar loan of up to £20,000 over five years is available for a used electric car. There's the usual hoops to jump through for both loans as you'd expect. Thought it might interest somebody. Not sure if a similar scheme is available in other parts of the UK.

Neal H Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 The government is forcing us to buy electric vehicles by banning ICE vehicles. This is all the proof you need that the tech isn’t there yet. New tech should be able to sell itself, we should WANT to buy it because it gives us something better than we already have. Hopefully in 10 years time it will have evolved enough to make us want it. What we are being offered now is inferior to what we have already at approximately double the price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the motor isn't rated at IPX7 or IPX8, the viscosity of the water in the gap between rotor and stator would completely cripple the performance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
