interesting thread. i've worked in railway electrification for 10 years now and have had the occasional run-in with renewables. once did a feasability studies for putting a wind turbine on the pier at greenwich power station, that sort of thing. needles to say[/partridge] nothing ever came of any of it. interestingly, greenich power station, which provides peak lopping and backup power for the tube is basically 90% empty building (where the old steam turbines used to be). the last two station managers have been looking at all sorts of renewable schemes to untilise the space with the existing connections to the grid and the underground network. the gas turbines tucked away in one corner will be life expired and need replacing within a few more years too. might be something worth investigating nahguavkire?
i've always wanted to move into renewables though. applied for a couple of jobs at "good energy" last year bit i don't think i've got quite the right background. so i'm very keen to learn more about the industry. *pricks up ears.
hahaha. ahhh balki, you so crazy.
