"Love for Holland is mostly NOT take it seriously. We are a bunch of idiots who like stabbing the dragon with the news. So breath. Exhale. Then you get there."

They built a proof of concept off the north wales coast. The early indications are not encouraging.

Imagine the planning permission application

It's below the 2m ridge height limit so comes under permitted development rights. Just like a shed really.

Good point. Well in that case, have at it. Just as long as they're quiet, and their trees don't overhang Ipswich

But with the number of windmills they'd have on there, if they turn the fans around, UK would be blown half way across the Atlantic 😉

Isn't that where the new London Airport is going to be situated?
Of course, the necessary high-speed rail link might see a few issues...
