IMG_3344_.jpg The Walney Offshore Windfarm project is located 15km off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria.  The project consists of Walney 1 and Walney 2 each with 51 turbines. When finished it will have 102 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. The Turbines are manufactured by Siemens in Denmark, then shipped to the port of Mostyn in north Wales, where they are put together before being shipped up the the Walney site.

IMG_8568_cairns.jpg Sea level rise is a real and increasing threat to Australia, as the majority of the population live around the coast. Cairns in Queensland is particularly vulnerable. King tides in March 2010 came within inches of inundating the city. If this high tide had coincided with a storm, it would have spelled disaster. Cairns has recently spent $millions on this and other new pumping stations that pump storm water out to sea, The storm water, due to increasing sea levels was backing up and flooding the centre of Cairns during the highest tides.
