This lot don’t consider the fact that wind turbines (solar panels etc) have to be manufactured – in factories that use masses of power – from products dug out of the ground.
Come on bri… I’m no ‘tree hugger’ but you cant seriously use the argument that because the turbine has to be manufactured, then it’s a less environmentally friendly than more ‘traditional’ methods of generating power…
Lets at least look at the pros and cons of the two proposed methods (from a flying point of view only)…
Wind farms – Have to go a bit higher to be safe…
Nuclear power… 5 mile exclusions zones?
Take your pick! I suppose the one advantage of the wind farm route is that the CAA are (or at least were) putting pressure on the wind farms to help finance a low cost mode S for us all to use, based on the fact that wind farms wouldn’t be such an issue if we were all flying around with Mode S.
