It's not the same out here as it used to be and the workforce is getting cut more and more each year so if you survive the cull you have to do twice the amount of work each time.

I'm looking into getting into the wind turbine gig myself, as the conditions are far better than on the rigs and you get more regular time at home. If I were you I'd try that beofre anything else.

No worries mate, I thought as much. Thanks for replying

MikeB just started a job with Siemens fitting turbines, I think he is going to have something to do with that project off the coast of Scotland eventually

dont tell me... your one of the people that think we just fill them up with diesel and drive the turbines round with a big diesel engine?
ha ha only joking mate, to be honest... i couldn't agree more lol they are expensive and far from productive electrical wise. pretty much useless to be fair... plus wind energy is far more expensive than other forms....near on £100Mw... nearly 3 times more than fossil fuels...
But if given the choice you would rather a big dirty stinking coal/oil fired plant than a clean expensive wind farm??? know which i would rather!

Plus... they pay AWESOME
