Ecotricity – Bristol Port – Wind Turbine Construction Video
By
Just launched! Watch our stunning new time-lapse video of the construction of 3 wind turbines at Bristol Port. The turbines will produce over 15 million units of new green electricity annually, enough to save around 13000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year for the next 30 years! www.ecotricity.co.uk

Look , if you guys think wind power sucks like hell, there’s other thing like water power or geometrical power. Anyway this renewable energies saves tons of money. So either say shit about this wind power and protest outside the government buildings of US while getting a high bill OR let Earth live longer and get CHEAPER bills. But GREAT VIDEO!

Wind energy. If we took 1 tillion dollars the cost of the wars in you know where. 1 trillion/4 million (estimated cost of scale for a commercial one wind turbine) would net 25 billion wind turbines. One wind turbine can generate 2.5MWh electricity. 2.5MWh can power 350 homes in a northern cold state. 25 billion X 250 homes? I think that pretty much covers the US needs for power. Just having fun here, don’t shoot the messenger.

design and build for increased energy efficiency

Immigration? Dude if you aren’t an American Indian, you are an immigrant or a descendant thereof. If it wasn’t for immigration, there wouldn’t be a United States, Merry Christmas.

wow there are some weird oppinions here…..
anti wind energy? wtf?

I think the best way to reduce carbon emissions in the west is to have an immigration moratorium. Statistics clearlyu show the USA population grew by 100 million in the last 40 years and nearly all the growth was due to immigration.
The west could drasically reduce carbon emissions with a reduction in immigration and population and would have nearly stable growth in the USA with a moratorium on immigration.

u obviously know nothing about wind energy huh. the ones i just finished building were Vestas 3.5MW in Iowa. 62 of them can power about 50,000 homes and are expected to last 20-30 years.

This is just a hippy dream. The only serious energy is from coal and oil. It is harsh, I know.
The wind energy is not viable.

I think what they mean is all 3 units combined produce 15 million kilowatt hours….

the subsidies for coal and nuclear are much geater than for the wind industry.

Totally awesome, if I get burnt out from IT, im going into wind industry. Its fascinated me for years

at :52 ” over 15 million units of green electricity – enough to run over 4600 homes a year” wtf?
Do they mean over 4600 UNITS enough to run 15million homes? hope so or thats just nuts.

incredible.

Enercon shit…

What are you paying in hidden taxes for them?
January 5th, 2010 at 1:21 am
yes. I finished long ago.

Where can I get Verticial Wind Turbines in Australia? and How much do they cost eg $5000 for a 2kW? I wonna least cut back my Power Bill by 80% or even more if possible =)

Wasn’t sure if you had finished

Eco’…You didn’t get back to me…
January 5th, 2010 at 2:55 am
excellent work!

I have been getting my power from a wind turbine
for over 10 yrs– my power bill was $23 last month-
wind power is Awesome -

Great video! Nice music also. What’s the price tag on one of these things? (not including constuction)
January 5th, 2010 at 4:15 am
And collect a big fat subsidy cheque.
January 5th, 2010 at 4:23 am
Well i’m glad that you’ve decided to build a wind turbine on your own. You will save tons og money in electric bills.
Anyone who’s interested in building one can feel free to cotact me.

Yeah you can see them on the from the Avon Bridge.
