    Impressive scale, with mills the size of Rockefeller center and the farm’s extent equal to London. Still only 5 percent of UK’s energy consumption when they are operating at max capacity. Two things come to mind:

    • What was the cost in terms of climate gases to build and install these, and what are the plans for their eventual decommissioning?
    • What are the impacts on atmospheric flows, especially if this was scaled up to cover a larger part of UK consumption, and joined by similar installations from other countries?
