The demolition of a record-holder

The numbers lead to an average production rate of 1Megawatt, which might be impressive for a 15year old technology but is surely not capable to supply 15000 homes, which then would just have got around 70 Watt each and just 1,5kwh a day.

What a waste of structure, it don't matter what the reasons were to demolish this wind generator, old technology, low efficiency too expensive maintenance, whatever it was; this tower could have been used for a new project and not destroyed, wasting thousands of tons of concrete. That is what has this planet on the brink of extinction... WASTE ! That is why mankind is doomed, unless we change our ways.

To Robert DeLaPlaza All the material used to build Matilda can be sold and be turned inte money so they can build other windmills (or at least pay of a bit on the new one). They dont just tear it down and throw the scraps away. And concrete. Its only rock and cement. If something is reclaimable its concrete. You sounds just like one of those people that complains only becouse they are able to. I really hope that you return and read this.

But now, Matilda's record has been broken http://j.mp/aeh2Wh

That is nice. Thanks for sharing!
