World's Largest Wind Farm Gets Green Light
cliffski writes "According to the BBC website the UK govt has just given the go ahead to two large offshore wind-farm projects.
Between them the schemes would produce enough renewable electricity to power about one million households.
The larger London Array project covers 144 sq miles (232 sq km) between Margate in Kent and Clacton, Essex and will be the world's biggest when it is completed. The £1.5bn scheme will have 341 turbines rising from the sea about 12 miles (20km) off the Kent and Essex coasts, as well as five offshore substations and four meteorological masts"
Lisa, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.
These guys are now trying to cross the channel with the whole island!!!
Hopefully it'll kill off a few bloody seagulls. Maybe we should have a wind farm in central London to cut down on the vicious bastards.
Oh arse
thats the Imperial-Metric square mile. Oft' confused with the strict Imperial square mile.
It was invented solely for the purposes of this article, and has yet to reach widespread use.
But it will only kill off the stupid sea birds. I for one welcome our... oh god just shoot me....
Scarecrow. Duh.
Just enough to run my Delorian.

Won't somebody please think of the birds!
They already have.
If a baby duck is a "duckling," why would anyone want to eat "dumplings?"
Fluffy the neighborhood kitty has probably never taken down a bald eagle.
Wait, wait, I know what you're going to say, but it's obvious that youtube video was a fake.
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
True Story (or so I'm told): My brother is an ornithologist out West and they were conducting a Lincoln Index study in a suburban area. Every morning they would come in to man the nets and in one back yard a toy breed dog would bark his fool head off. One early morning the yapping was punctuated with a yelp and then silence. My brother looked and a Great Horned Owl was flying off with Fluffy.
Yes, but their better eyesight means they get super-hypnotised, and fly straight into the blades.
They will complain that its being built too far away to complain about.
