40km E-Bike Trail in Visit Ballyhoura Mountains.
My bike had more power in the Battery Pack than 5 Wind Turbines generated all day 🤪 #nowindnopower
This morning's #FullScottishBreakfast is brought to you with a stunning 0.77GW wind power. Just sayin'...

I ask time & time again - where are the figures & what data is this based on? For the past few days turbines on the M74 have been more decorative than functional. Scottish homes have clearly not been needing much power. Can someone answer this?!

This is just a snapshot of uk energy over the past 4 days, we have 21GW installed wind capacity, yet we have still needed coal & fossil-fuel based imported energy. And still we are constantly told how wind energy powers two Scotlands

So today we reap the benefit of environment trashing, wildlife destroying, countryside blighting, homelife wrecking wind power for less than 1GW #windpower . Shout that from the rooftops then! wind turbines, as much use as a #ChocolateFireguard

Apologies to #RobbieBurns for rewriting a classic poem. Beautiful #AftonGlen & local homes will be majorly impacted by #SanquharII turbines. Still, #climateemergency & all that.

Wind turbines rely on fossil fuel backup. Does that sound like 'clean energy'? #NoWindNoPower
Community Windpower National grid energy mix, tea time 3/8/19, 0.57 GW wind energy.

The U.K. may lead in #OffshoreWind , but its electricity prices tell a different story. With costs more than double those in the US & over 5X higher than in China, it's clear that renewables come with a hidden expense: backup energy for when the wind isn't blowing. #NoWindNoPower
Community Windpower The Climate Coalition Possibly not 21-24 Jan though, 4 days of not much #windenergy #environment #windfarm #NoWindNoPower #intermittancy
UK energy mix in past 4 days. 21GW installed capacity of wind providing not a lot of power. I'm not even in the uk just now so can't look out of the window to see what the wind's (not) doing.

Come and enjoy our beautiful Glens - #RegionalScenicArea #EnvironmentallySensitiveArea we have #SouthernUplandWay #StridingArches #Hillwalking #Covenanters plus eagles, kites, otters, osprey and breathtaking scenery

Sanquhar II would be built in areas of class I peat; 25% of turbines & 11km track are at high risk of peat slide; approx 600m3 peat would be extracted where turbines would be placed

Lying #Labor Minister was full of it...... Half hour after her spiel about using as much power as Victorians wanted to in the heatwave, the Blackouts began. #NoWindNoPower . #UNreliables . #auspol
We have metres of deep peat that have seen thousands of footsteps & a fabulous cultural heritage, & a wonderful bothy which is part of the historic #SouthernUplandWay Our communities' stories echo around our hills & Glens

#ScotClimateWeek - perhaps we can hope Scottish Government puts its money where its mouth is and stops destroying pristine peat bogs & replacing them with yet more wind turbines #NoWindNoPower #StopSanquharII
