thanks for clarifying regarding the wind speed - I knew I had come across it somewhere, Seems like a very dramatic increase in output capacity if it is only producing 50% of capacity at 8m/s, yet by 9.5m/s it is at full output... but there you go.
as to me remembering what you in particular have said, I took most of what you implied with a grain of salt as very little was supported with fact
I did find this off the irena.org page though "The amount of power that can be harvested from wind depends on the size of the turbine and the length of its blades. The output is proportional to the dimensions of the rotor and to the cube of the wind speed. Theoretically, when wind speed doubles, the wind power potential increases by a factor of eight." I have found this supported over several other science sites also.
another 1gw of wind announced for QLD today with Herries Ridge - which will go beside macintyre
cant say I can find anything to indicate Iberdolas WF has been diminished in capacity at all... please provide link if you have it
Agree about concerns with Kidston and MAT construction issues... already spent all the provision kitty and if more steps are needed outside of "fixed price" construction... things will get very interesting.
Overall I still strongly feel that GNX will be in a strong position once the PH is operational... even if there is more needed to be paid for the construction of the asset
