How are all these wind power mills going?


 Over the last day we have gone past 3 fields of wind farms from Cape Bridgewater to Yambuk  in the Western district .
 All the mills are Cape Bridgewater are stuck still with one fan breaking off as shown in the picture. Cranes are up replacing the 25 gearboxes at Yambuk as they have been doing in the newest mill fields at Mt Gellibrand 
Lots of the mills at Yambuk are leaking oil and lots of hydraulic cylinders  ( $80000 a pair ) are turning up at scrap metal merchants . . 
Nobody in their right minds expects these crude gearboxes to last very long. 

Question 4 polys ( just a few ) 

  1. What is the standby payment for these things ( so often idle ) 
  2. Who is paying for the replacement parts? 
  3. What kilo watt per hour of heat are the gearboxes expected to dissipate ? 
  4. Is anyone allowed to ask any questions about how we are going to power our toasters in particular in the morning?
