16,000 Additional Wind Turbines Required to Power British Electric Car Fleet
Alternative energy continues to sound like an easy thing to buy into.
Unfortunately, the factual logistics as presented here always show otherwise.
And then, there's the poor rare white-throated needletail...

And then, there's the poor rare white-throated needletail...
On the WattsUpWithThat website, Eric Worral describes the reality of wind turbines (and this just involves electric cars):
"According to Professor Jack Ponton of Edinburgh University, an additional 16,000 wind turbines covering 90,000 square kilometres (35,000 square miles) will be required to charge Britain’s electric cars, if Britain converts to an all electric car fleet.
Wind farms would need to ‘cover whole of Scotland’ to power Britain’s electric vehicles.
SCOTLAND would need to be entirely covered by wind farms in order to power all of Britain’s electric cars, according to a leading academic."
