Wind Week Twitter competition: Win £50 voucher

24th May 2010

The renewable and wind energy sector often comes under fire from individuals and organisations who may not be fully aware of facts, figures and overall benefits green energy can provide. We believe that renewable energy, and wind energy in particular, is a variable and sustainable energy source for Britain and the world.


In the run up to Wind Week on 12th June 2010, we’re running a competition to address common misconceptions regarding wind energy. We’ll be tweeting short wind related facts from the twitter.com/embracemyplanet profile all this week. To enter the competition, all you need to is retweet (RT) any facts you see with @embracemyplanet in your tweet.


You’ll then be automatically entered into the competition for a chance to win a £50 Marks and Spencer voucher. You need only RT one fact this week, but the more you tweet the more likely you are to win.  
Winners will be notified w/c 31st May 2010. We’ll ask you to supply a name and email address so your prize can be redeemed.

 

So make sure you follow us at twitter.com/embracemyplanet and get retweeting!

fully aware of facts, figures and overall benefits green energy can provide

fact - £90m revenue for 25 years on a 9 turbine windfarm. cost £5m - pure profit - £85m.

50% of profit is from ROCs.

windfarm companies give incentives to councils to allow planning permission - usually about 0.5% of their revenue.

windfarm companies try to avoid paying all the fees for the application. with over £90 m to make on a 9 turbine windfarm denying the council £70k in wrong fees is outrageous.

noise from big turbines is disturbing - defra, decc and renewable uk (the lot behind this amateur website) have finally admitted it and are doing something about it.
