Windpower is becoming a controversial issue just like nuclear power at the coast lines of Finland.

Local people are showing an increasing interest for big mill towers that shouldn't become a part of their back-yards.

Green energy is good, as long as it is located as far as possible from my summer cottage or house garden.

Modern shore-line mills will be very visible while rising to the highs of 150 to 170 meters. The diameters of the towers are 10 meeter at the root.

There are plans about 60 windmills located in the archipelago of Ingå and Raseborg. The towers could be 170 meters high.

These towers would be visible from Porkkala to Hanko or the shoreline of Estonia.

Helsinki Energy didn't want the windmills outside of Helsinki, but they want green energy for the city greens.

What are your opinions?

How about windpower in your country? Finland does have about 150 MW installed capacity but there are plans to install about 700 more of 3 to 6 MW units before 2020.

Nevertheless, we're never going to be a windpower country. Instead, we talk about having three new nuclear power plants.

Bioenergy is also a burning issue here. What way should we go? Combined heat and power will not solve all our energy needs.

We need a combination of all possible energy sources.

There are new things emerging in the windpower industry. Big investments are planned for U.S. and China. Those countries seem to become the big players in the windmill business.

Energy investments are political issues. Finnish investments depend on government incentives and local political decision-making.

When it comes to windmills, location, location and location is the central issue. First, you need windy conditions. Second, the local political environment shouldn't bee too stormy. Third, proper financing models are required. It looks like windpower would become a field for big energy companies. The same applies to manufacturing of windmills and components.

I'm working with an article concerning windpower and wind mill parks. Finland has plans to have about 700 windmills installed along the coast line before 2020. Our windmills and components manufacturers are employing three to four thousand people. The industry makes about one billion (milliard) euros in turnover. Denmark is a wind-mills-superpower. They have a lot of wind mills and the plan is to produce i big part of their electricity with in windpower parks. They do also have a prospering wind mills industry with a turnover that is ten times larger than Finns are achieving.

Here is a link from Sweden.

Erik Sandström writes, "AB PiteEnergi köper in sig mot en option av 20 % av aktierna i Skellefteåbaserade Meva Innovation AB. Bolaget har utvecklat en teknik för att producera Biosyntesgas genom förgasning av biobränsle i en cyklon under hög temperatur. Meva Innovation AB arbetar med utveckling och marknadsföring av VIPP (Vortex Intensive Power Process). Det är en teknisk lösning för att utvinna renad biosyntesgas ur biobränslen."

I try to re-start the discussion about bioeconomy and possibilities related to agriculture.

- biofuel from potato production processes
- how to organize
- logistics
- available technology
- small scale and local
