Kenya builds wind farms, we procrastinate and argue

H

ere in Australia we continue to procrastinate and argue about wind farms, while in other countries, in this case Kenya, they just get on a build them.

We procrastinate and argue,
other countries simply get
 on with the task and build.

ClimateProgress tells us that Kenya has started work on a wind farm that will provide one fifth of the county’s power needs.

“Last week Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta broke ground on a major renewable energy project for the country and for the African continent as a whole: a 310-megawatt wind farm some 300 miles north of the capital city of Nairobi.

”The farm, which will consist of 365 turbines when fully completed in mid-2017, will be the largest in Africa — overpowering Morocco’s Tarfaya wind farm, currently Africa’s biggest project with 131 turbines. It is also expected to provide around 17 percent of Kenya’s power demand,” ClimateProgress reports.
