Loreto students are Blown Away!

ImageGeographers and would-be engineers heard the latest about wind power from well-named expert Mr Breeze.

The electrical engineer, who works for Siemens Power Generation: Renewables, outlined how important the wind power industry is becoming to meet Britain’s energy needs.

He told students about the challenges of installing wind turbines, which can be up to 150metres tall –taller than a tower block!

 
“The UK is the windiest place in Europe and we need to make sure we fully utilise this resource to help meet targets to reduce the production of greenhouse gases,” said Mr Breeze.
 
 “Wind power is fastest growing the renewable energy technologies and not only is it important for young people to know how it works they also need to know it’s an area which has a bright future for sustainable jobs around the world.”
