Resolved Question: When there is wind why aren't all the windmills on any one site turning ?

More often than not on any wind farm there are one or two, or three windmills not turning. Ignoring capital costs ( you can take them out of any equation ) as the wind is free the electricity generated by any wind mill must then be free, why then aren't all windmills turning and supplying the grid with free electricity ? more

Resolved Question: How Easy Is This .....Could It Get Much Easier..?

Life in the Australian Army… Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland) Dear Mum & Dad, I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin’ on the farm – tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don’t hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack – nothin’!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there’s lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing! At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there’s no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don’t get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we’ve been on a ‘route march’ – geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!! This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin’ - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody possum’s bum and it don’t move and it’s not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it’s a piece of piss!! You don’t even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don’t have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload! Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it’s not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster. Turns out I’m not a bad boxer either and it looks like I’m the best the platoon’s got, and I’ve only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers – he’s 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I’m only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin’ wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer. I can’t complain about the Army – tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is. Your loving daughter, Sheila more

Resolved Question: Wind farms - what makes the windmills go round?

Resolved Question: Does this sound like a speech snowball (in <Animal Farm>) would present in front of the animals?

Comrades, having observed and realised the state of our fields, the nutrition we are obtaining and having spent countless hours concerned for the good of your well-being, I have come to a conclusion. Over what seems like an endless supply of cappuccinos, I have become increasingly worried that we are more likely to suffer from undernourishment of sustenance rather than a lack of electricity, of which compatriot Snowball contends. Remember comrades, the days of prejudice , under the rule of those deceitful humans, when we were preparing for the rebellion? What was the purpose? It was to unite for the greater good, for utopia on earth. Look at us now! A wonderful serenity has taken possession of our entire collective soul, which we are enjoying whole-heartedly, are we not. However, contradictory to the good times we are rejoicing now, sooner or later the bleak, cold and dark winter will come. Now with concern I urge you to imagine, everyone of you, working on the windmill. Who will replenish our food stocks for such a time to come? Therefore, it is my imperative recommendation that you contemplate rationally the two scenarios under debate, the first having every droplet of your sweat wasted because you wouldn't be alive for your windmill, or the second work labor intensively until such a time as the manger is full and then go for grander and motivated things. Nothing will work if you jump from one stepping stone to another. Inscribe this simple phrase and adopt it as your own motto : work by the words of 'step by step'. With your majestic , futuristic windmill completed you will have invested all your fuel, your labor force into it. Then afterwards, who will provide YOU with your fuel without the replenishing of our food stocks? So, I conclude now with these final words for your immediate digestion: would you rather have a grave beside this windmill-to-be, or rather become a little more prudent and care for the crops and enjoy infinite comfort and luxury in the longer term? The choice is yours now. It is your decision that will make a difference. Voice your choice! I think the last "voice your choice" is a bit rhymey for Snowball I mean his like one tough guy to say such a thing. more

Resolved Question: Wind farms, totally pointless??

I have noticed these big white windmills popping up all over the place and wondered why we need to produce wind and how much electricity it cost to drive them. Also, when it IS windy the people that control them seem to turn them on and when it's a calm day they have them turned off. What a waste of our money.@ moss: are you thick is a question, therefore requires a "?". I thought I saw your name on a loaf of bread but it said thick cut. more

Resolved Question: Why did Windmills install engines 150 years ago?

I took my soon to visit a Windmill in Ashford, Kent this Saturday. This was a fascinating one to one tour and the guide really new his stuff. I recommend it to everyone with small children, they even let the kids grind their own flour from corn. However, I did find one aspect especially interesting. I was very surprised to find that the mill hand a 150 year old Oil powered engine installed. The guide explained that this was done because Wind power is very unpredictable and unreliable. No wind, no bread! The villagers at the time got sick of it. Are we trying to chase an old technology that really never worked in the first place with wind farms? Could we really expect to run our modern 21st century infrastructure on these kind of unreliable renewables or is Nuclear the only realistic option? more

Resolved Question: Organic food. What's it all about?

What is all this about Organic food? I grow my own vegetables and have sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geeses.. All these we eat. I never buy meat I only eat what I grow. My animals live a good life and when they expire it is good, clean and quick. I am very lucky. I also have a 15KW windmill and export most of that to the Grid. My so-called carbon footprint is minus hundreds. I regularly go to a pub where I listen for hours to sandal wearing, bean eating, minority supporting tits talk about Organic food. They know nothing about farming. They have never had a crop of spuds go down to blight or foot and mouth…. I never even used the word till recently yet all my produce is completely free of chemicals and I farm in a natural way. These people put more chemicals down their toilet pan than I do onto my crops. The word Organic is used by supermarkets to charge stupid punters 30% over the odds on crap looking food, which has NO additional nutritional value whatsoever. When will people learn that they are being ripped off by the advertising agencies telling us we need to be orgasmic? The reason chemicals were invented was because without them crops died…. The reason a product is given an ‘E’ number is coz it has been tested and passed as safe by the EU… get it? ‘E’… OK to eat!!! Why do people think if it is natural it is good?… Ryacin is natural, so is arsenic and plutonium!!!! These are natural?….. Stop with this Natural (Organic) thing being good… It is just another money spinner for the Daleks. J more
