Re: Windfarm anyone?

It seems that no one has looked into the problem of icing on blades of turbines. This is more common than you may think and is a very real danger in propeller driven aircraft.
I would not like to be downwind when one of these windfarms shed their rime ice.

Here in the UK we don't have enough sunshine for solar panels, wind is unreliable, maybe we could harness the sea, but in the short term certainly I still don't see any alternative to Nuclear
