I dont't mind new ways of getting energy but If they are going to pop up everywhere I would like them not to spoil the appearance of the countryside. Stick them along the green line,on the bases or in the football stadiums so we can't see them

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 are right.

Back then there was no TV, Internet, Radios, light fixtures, fridges...
BTW, I love halloumi, olives and regga psiti me efimerides...

Do you eat newspapers?
Can I have the recipe?

This is really funny. Many years ago we used to cook regges with old efimerides burning on the ground between stones... Guys would bring koniakki and beer... stay up all night... usually at the beach of Famagusta... smoke fish smell everywhere... drunk as hell...slept on the beach till morning sun came up... take a plunge into the sea to wake up.

These were the good times... I was young and good looking back then... now old and ugly.

I was involved in a couple of renewable energy projects in the Dominican Republic. The selection of the location is based on wind resources for best results. The estimated KW production is very accurate. Payback is usually 20 years.

There was lots of complaints from the local population about the wind farms but in the end everyone got used to them. A necessary evil I might say.

I am sure you knew the trick, thanks.

A few years ago, me and a couple of friends started to cook regges in my back yard (Toronto).

Within minutes, the fire department was on to us, rushed into the back yard and hosed off the fire. A neighbour of mine called them. The Fire Marshall explained "you need a fire permit to cook the regges!!!" I got away with just a warning instead of a $50 fine.

Isn't that roughly the time when you need to replace all the wind mills?

[georgios100]

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

apc2010,

If you don't like the wind farm, what is your proposal for electricity production in Cyprus?
