  • Yeah, I don't think the turbines make the wind...

    More likely to be vibrations in the turbines that transmit into the peat and destabilise it.

    Once it has been destabilised then the wind would blow the trees. The wind farms tend to be built in windy areas.

    Yeah and you probably thing the world is round too? Sheesh.

    I read that out loud to the Mrs 5 minutes ago and she's been laughing since then and saying "bollocks" intermittently.

    Peat behaves like a thick viscous liquid. The ecological and geological surveys would preclude anything risky being built and the foundations go down to the bedrock below the peat.

    Also. She is/was involved in pretty much every single windfarm in the British Isles for the past 26 years.

    Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
