Last week, a clutch of European countries launched plans to develop a vast network of offshore wind-farms over an area of about 293, 438 square miles in the North Sea.
The project calls for the off-white wind turbines in a 25-square-mile area in a shallow part of the sound, a triangular body of water surrounded by Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.
It has about five windmills on one property, 52 in this area -- 52 wind farms generating incredible amounts of energy and, by the way, helping family farmers with a little bit of extra income.
To deliver 42 kWh per day per person from wind for everyone in the United States would require wind farms with a total area roughly equal to the area of California, a 200-fold increase in United States wind power.
When asked if they would be for or against the development of large-scale wind energy projects being built in their council area, 77% of SNP supporters, 71% of Liberal Democrat supporters, 64% of Labour supporters and 53% of Conservative supporters said they were in favour.
Plans for a 21-turbine wind farm in Carmarthenshire have been rejected despite falling in an area outlined for wind energy projects.
Said Sareea will start to wind down later this month, but 3 Commando will remain in the area until mid-November as part of an amphibious training exercise in the Arabian Sea.
The Rhiannon wind farm would be around 19km (12 miles) north-east of Anglesey and cover an area the size of the Isle of Man.
Usually, the prevailing south-westerly wind would take the ash cloud away from Europe and over the polar region, but a high-pressure area is bringing it over Europe, where it is sitting and barely moving as the ash spreads.
That 50s area ideal of a part-time job and a fixed up car is simply gone with the wind.
They say that the area is environmentally damaged anyway, thanks to drainage and over-grazing, and that the new wind farms would have only a minor impact.
