This is going to be a page on the problems facing the development of UK offshore wind farms, it is certainly not a test page, though i agree that the first content was the word test, hope this helps.
Tried adding satellite image link to Barrow Wind Farm notes but the images are not up to date or detailed enough. If they get updated and anyone wants to add them the link is:- Location: 53°59′N 3°18′W / 53.983°N 3.300°W / 53.983; -3.300

To access a realiable, updated, official list of wind farms in the UK try http://www.bwea.com/ukwed/operational.asp The table even has geographical coordinates for each wind farm

Comparison with Coal Powerstations

Is 2GW installed wind capacity really equivalent to two coal power stations? The capacity factor for wind is around 30%; capacity factor for coal is around 90%. 2GW installed wind capacity is equivalent to perhaps one small coal powerstation. (It's probably less than a quarter of the output of a big powerstation like Drax). --86.10.109.45 19:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC) Colin[reply]

good call, also the first two references of the article are broken links and need updating if alternate references can be found, sbandrews (t) 20:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
