Olympic Wind...or hot air?


Posted on June 8, 2010 at 3:48 PM

I am gutted to see that the London Olympic Games' Olympic Delivery Authority have now shelved their plans for a wind turbine at the Olympic Park.

What better advert for wind power and Green Britain would there have been than to see one spinning happily above the Olympic Games venue? However it seems that the dreaded health and safety has intervened again to hobble the Olympic dream of 20% renewable energy to the Olympic Park.
The intention now is to look at CHP and solar pv to help fill the gap but one can't help but feel that this is an opportunity missed.
