Posted By: tonyMy local lot are claiming that the inland based wind turbines in our area are efficient and that we should have more of them, I dont agree as the one we have would be much better sited on on a hillside somewhere nearer the coast same capital cost, hugely better output.

Why does it have to be either or? there are benefits to geographically spreading your turbines out.

To pick a slightly bizzare analogy wall insulation has a better payback than decent glazing but few would argue this was either or.
