One Wylfa B or Hundreds of Unsightly Windmills?

by Fred Whiting
(Cheshire)

There is a some opposition to a new nuclear station on Anglesey replacing the original, but not everyone is in favour of those wind turbines.

These turbines despoil the landscape and then there's the whining 24 hours a day,if it is windy, which is not always the case.

Perhaps someone who knows should inform us exactly how many windmills it takes to replace Wylfa.

The figures I have seen so far show about 6700!

Would Anglesey take this number and is this what the residents want?

 Wind turbines off Anglesey
by: Editor

There is already a large wind farm being built off the east coast of Anglesey and north of Llandudno, called appropriately "Gwynt y Mor".

 wind turbines mania
by: Jim

this is a crazy suggestion. I think Mr Gomberts is right about the 5MW.

As for Wylfa, it is just under 1,000 MW I think, which means that it is equal to about 200 wind turbines. but i reckon you can add to that because of the lack of wind, so perhaps need 300+

 wind turbine noise
by: A Gomperts

Don't know where you get the whining from. Wind turbine noise is composite.

Sources of noise include the blade tips and edges, mechanical noise, some wind noise around the tower, etc.

There are arguments about how much nuisance a wind turbine gives rise to.

A typical large wind turbine rating these days is 5 MW.

5 x 6,700 = 33,500 MW or 33 GW.

Wylfa must be a very big power station indeed!
