IMG_9008_piping.jpg A test drilling site for shale gas at Preese Hall Farm near Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. The gas is contained within layers of shale rock and is released by a controversial process known as Fracking, where liquids are pumped into the rock under high pressure to shatter the rock and release the gas. Recently the process was halted when it was thought it was responsible for two small earthquakes in the area.
In the USA the process is highly controvercial, as it leads to contamination of groundwater and polluted drinking water. Its exploitation is also obviously very bad from a climate change perspective.

IMG_8325_rusting.jpg The jack up barge, The Goliath moored next to a monopile at the Walney Offshore windfarm project, off Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, UK. The Goliath will then fit a transition pice over the monopile, upon which the wind turbine is constructed. 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.
