As someone from the west of Ireland, if we could capture all the wind we could probably power the whole of Europe :)

- teh_klev 7y agoAs someone who used to live in north west Donegal, I completely agree. I think we had about two days a year where the wind didn't blow a minor gale :)
- _ph_ 7y agoI just read that there is a huge powerline being built from Ireland to France, so Ireland could become a large electricty exporter to the continental Europe. This could work in both directions, while wind strength in one place can vary strongly over time, the larger scale you connect regions together, the less fluctuation there is.
