On a journey into London yesterday I noticed 4 wind turbines mounted at the side
of the North Circualr Road in London. Their location can be found here where the
arrow is - on the East side of the dual carriageway marked in green. .....

What was curious was that they were rotating at quite a high speed, yet there
was virtually no wind.
My colleague who was driving commented that at times he's seen some turning, yet
others stationary despite then being merely 10s of metres apart.
Their location also seemed odd. I'd say they were no more than 10 metres at most
above ground level, and it's well known that the wind in such urban locations
and at that height is relatively weak.
We concluded that whoever owns these turbines must actually be ** applying power
** to them to get them to rotate . There's no way they could be behaving as they
were naturally.
I can only presume that they believe that this will encourage the public to
'believe' in wind power even when located in such totally unsuitable locations.
I think they underestimate the public's ability to spot an obvious con-trick.

Nothing would surprise me, history is filled with the deceptive tricks

History contains little else given that it is written by politicians.

Would this be an example of political spin?

LOL !
Notice the two superstores on the opposite side of the road ? They are Tesco and
Ikea, both of whom like to promote their 'green credentials'.
It wouldn't surprise me to discover that one or the other of these were behind
this.
