After testing by expert contractors, the Leicester City Council has concluded the city simply isn’t windy enough for wind turbines. Apparently the city sits in a natural depression, which doesn’t help. Sites were scoped out in Western Park, Beaumont Park, Castle Hill Park and Ashton Green – all in Beaumont Leys – as well as Humberstone Heights golf course, near Hamilton, and further land near Western Park golf course, in Braunstone Frith. But none of them had the necessary wind resource. Council leader Ross Willmott said the north of the city was a possibility.

Wind Power is one of the best alternative energy sources that we should utilize, it is very clean and non-polluting. I built a small wind generator at home which can power small appliances.
I i just want to leave a quick comment to talk about your web site was great. I discovered it on google lookup right after experiencing lots of other information that had been probably not relevant. I think I would discover this much earlier thinking about how very good the content is.
Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Dude. You mind if I link to this post from my own website? This really is just too awesome.
