It is amazing that people get so creative as to making things environmentally safe, like recycling solid rubber tires and making toys,sculptures and sidewalks - skid steer tires Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:35:36 +0100 http://constructireland.ie/News/Renewable-Energy/9-cent-feed-in-tariff-for-renewable-electricity.html#comment-38 What a waste!!! 1 kW potential installed with the knit-your-own-propellor cost € 4,800. Professinals do it for € 1,000 per kW (or €1,000,000 per mega Watt). One needs a calculator with more then 8 digits to check the numbers, this Irish made propellor wastes 480% of energy when compared to the real Mc Coy. Money wasted means energy wasted !

The two contractors quantify the contract volume to approx. 2 billion euros.This constitutes the framework agreement is one of the largest contracts in the history of the wind industry and is also the largest contract in the field of offshore wind energy use, said the two companies. The delivery of the first 30 offshore wind turbines is expected to be completed in the year 2011. In the years 2012 to 2015, the delivery volumes steadily increased. The plants will become an overwhelming part of the proposed wind farm in North Innogy 1 shall, 40 km north of the island of Juist will arise.
