Re: Wind and solar
We have travellers living in a field not too far away and they had connected themselves into the overhead 240v wires. (semi-rural area, pretty much everything overhead) After causing 3 power cuts in the space of 8hrs due to overloading the transformer (entire site on one phase) the leccy board cut them off.
We then had to suffer 5 months of the only just noticeable but ever present drone from 'silent' diesel generators running 24/7. It was not nice.
