Guest Gladstone Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Surely that's just a waste of energy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 It reminds me of one of those houses with too much christmas lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaOfEnergy Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 assuming their LED lights they wouldnt use that much energy, surely itd still generate more energy than not having a turbine at all.....cant believe not one of yous think that its kinda cool, ah well....

Moose Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Even as an advocate of wind energy, I think its a bit silly. Only a bit. I'm not outraged by it. I'm also glad you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I think it'd be great to have them ready to turn on at christmas and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I have no idea how much energy it would use, but surely the whole point of a turbine is the generation of clean energy. They already get criticised for not generating enough energy, so sticking some fairy lights on them which uses (wastes) energy (however little) just seems a bit daft to me.I think wind turbines look pretty cool as they are.

Flights Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I just feel putting tacky looking led's on a huge windmill is kinda pointless. They should make all windmills look like windy millers house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
