Fuel poverty ‘shocker’ should power energy reform

The show’s host Calum Macdonald asked if something was “just not clicking” between policy and legislation.

Using Viking Energy Windfarm as an example, Mr Macdonald said the windfarm could power up to half a million homes but its owner SSE was given £2 million to switch off its turbines in August.

He added that fuel poverty in the isles was around 30 per cent.

Fuel poverty 'shocker' should power energy reform - The Shetland Times

It is the “greatest injustice” that so many people are in fuel poverty in the isles, when there are energy producers generating so much power....

Dutch wind farm to save eagles’ lives with #smart #cameras on #turbines

One of the biggest criticisms of the #wind farm proliferation in Europe has been the harm that the blades of the turbines cause to the local birdlife. Now it seems that there is a solution being tried out by a wind farm in Zeewolde (Netherlands), which involves the installation of smart cameras on the wind turbines.

The essence of the project is to have the cameras stop the rotation of the blades automatically if they identify the incoming object as an eagle, thus preventing a collision and injury or death to the animal. The smart device will be able to detect an object from a distance of 1,100 metres and then if the object closes in, at 300 metres the camera will identify it as an eagle and automatically stop the blades for a few minutes.

Why #eagles? Apart from the fact that they are rare and protected animals, being apex predators, their attention is usually focused on the ground below in search of prey. Thus, they might not even notice that there is an object ahead of them.

Dutch wind farm to save eagles’ lives with smart cameras on turbines | TheMayor.EU

Next year, a wind farm in Zeewolde (Netherlands) will install smart cameras on its wind turbines with the aim of preventing collision between protected sea eagles and the blades.
