Mersey Beats the World with Biggest Wind Turbines

Graham Watson

21st May 2017

Is this a tipping point for wind power, as economies of scale make wind more profitable than nuclear energy? Certainly that's what the Guardian is hoping as the latest extension to the Burbo Bank windfarm off Liverpool sees Dong Energy erect the largest wind turbines in the world. The 195 ft tall turbines are part of a move towards zero subsidy renewable energy. An important contribution to the regional economy too!
