Scott Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Wow, thats pretty scary. Most people don't realise how big these things actually are. There is a field of them close to where i work. I'm curious though, why would someone be recording a turbine? Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Gaz, how long does it take these things to make the energy that was required to actually make them in the first place- ie pay for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damientt Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Shadow Beast - looks like you've got a world first. A roof mounted, wind turbine powered supra. Very eco friendly. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=73571&d=1207507178 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Gaz, how long does it take these things to make the energy that was required to actually make them in the first place- ie pay for themselves. they are there for 25 years then dismantled and the lease of the land returned to the farmers, they should actualy make 600 million profit in the 25 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
