The RIK news has just been telling us what a wonderful thing are!

Wonderful if you are sucking up a massive grant from the EU for building them....

Yes, but there would be a massive penalty if Cyprus didn't...

Thank goodness we joined the EU then eh...?

Coincidence I was driving out of Pissouri this afternoon and noticed those two white towers in the distance. They do stick out. They should have been painted green/beige to blend in.Are they going to install more ?

Here is my two cents on the wind farm installation. Some of the comments posted so far are beyond comprehension. I can't believe your only concern is what color is the mast or the noise emissions of the turbines... what about the power shortage in the near future?

1. Renewable energy projects.
2. Global warming.
3. Carbon dioxide emissions.
4. Fossil fuel running out.
5. Addiction to oil.
6. Acid rain and smog.

The above items are of global concern. Cyprus included. We should realize by now, the energy sector in Cyprus is behind schedule.

Electricity demand grows by the minute. Wind power is very popular all over the world. Here, in Canada, wind farms are constructed everywhere. As oil won't be there for ever, alternative sources of power must be pursued. Denmark, the leader in wind energy, harvests 20% of it's electricity from wind turbines.

The other option for Cyprus is nuclear energy. Do you really want a nuclear plant near you? No? Then settle for a wind farm and stop wining.

Re yorgo,

Until the 19th century Cypriots didn't have anything working on fossil fuel, and they still survived! All you need is halloumi and some olives.

You always disagree muchacho.

What is your bright idea about the electricity needs of Cyprus?

Do you eat newspapers?
Can I have the recipe?

Was that a joke? my bright idea about electricity????
