A TURBINE wall taller than the Isle of Wight, filling in the bay will do what to the prevailing winds?
What do we actually know of the air ‘downwind of a huge turbine array of this size’?
The energy is sucked out of the air. If you suck energy out of the air, water vapour has to condense.
Energy cannot be immediately fed back in since there is no excess energy except from the sea and the air above 600 feet.
This creates turbulence and turbulence above water collects yet more water vapour.
The cooler wall of de-energized, saturated air arriving at Bournemouth, 20 minutes after leaving the Wind Farm will do and appear as what?
Take your pick.
It depends upon many factors but the word fog, mist and rain, springs to mind.
Bournemouth already competes in the sunshine league to attract visitors.
Won’t be going to Bournemouth, too foggy, too misty, and too wet, too often, might be the decision.
Exit the tourist industry for a town with half of its connections already missing.
I suspect the decision has already been made by Government who couldn’t care less if Bournemouth financially vanished off the map as long as they meet their targets for renewable energies.
Mutterings of, “Won’t be my problem, I won’t be here” about sums it up.
