Re: GERMANY SUBSTITUTES WIND FOR NUCLEAR POWER

["High Plains Drifter" <magna1@jps.net>]

More than likely the wind turbines would be off line a lot due to the high

winds in the North Sea area.  Wind turbines has a limit on the wind speed

they can handle.  When several are destroyed by wind and sea storms and the

beaches are littered with debris, the, so to speak, Tide will change!
