Re: Half of Europe?

I have the report done for the Irish wind power projects at home. It does state the calculated possible output, but the top figure would involve so many turbines that the island may well take off!!

I'll look it up later and let you know what they reckon.

The biggest drawback to the growth in Ireland is the relative cost. Fossil fueled electricity prices do not include the peripheral costs (hospital care for asthmatics etc) and so appears cheaper.

The wind generated electricity is expensive in Ireland. You can ask to have XX% of your electricity from the wind farms, but it costs more than normal power (and it's subsidised!). However, all the money you pay for it is garrenteed to be put back into wind power development. Not a perfect scheme, but not a bad one either.
