#England’s tallest #WindTurbine prepares to rise against the odds | #WindPower | The Guardian

I presume that the geographical qualification means that some other country of the #UK (Scotland and off-shore, I’m guessing) has larger #turbines.

Looking at the data for #electricity demand for the #UK over a period of months, it seems like it rarely dips below 30 GW or much above 40 GW. With the introduction of large numbers of #ElectricVehicles, I expect that demand to rise significantly but if car batteries are also used partly for domestic use then it may smooth out peak demand out. More #WindFarms and other sustainable sources will needed as well as #NuclearPower for the base load.
