Falkland Islands progress in renewable energy surprises Chilean experts.
Three experts in the use of renewable energy who were visiting the Falkland Islands this week as the guests of the Falkland Islands Government declared themselves surprised by extent of the efforts made in the Islands to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Read full article

Dec 14th, 2013 - 11:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why are you going to get oil, if you dont need it, cause you have wind energy????
Shame you can not get the equal $US value for wind, that you get for oil.
Dec 14th, 2013 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0You lot would be rolling in greenbacks, be your biggest export!
No need for bonds, bonds, bonds and more bonds.
@2 To sell it, like any oil producing country. What do you think CFK would do with it?

What do traffic lights have to do with renewable energy ?
Just think, a tiny island archipelago is streets ahead of their poncy disagreeable neighbours in the field of renewable energy.
You must feel really belittled with this news. Never mind, if you could harness the wind that comes from Argy posters YOUwould be ahead !
if they could recycle the shite that comes from CFK's gob they would be made for life
Dec 14th, 2013 - 04:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Somewhat condescending attitude by the Chileans and don’t you just love the “Professor of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Solar Energy and Heat Transfer at the University of Magallannes (UMAG) in Punta Arenas, Humberto Vidal, who has led many investigations into the use of different kinds of alternative energy”” attitude. It used to be called “Heat and Light” but I suppose the Spanish effect of using eight words instead of two clinched it.
Dec 14th, 2013 - 04:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder if any of the “investigations” he “led” has EVER resulted in a result, so to say?
I bet nothing like he saw on the Falklands which is why he wants “a flow of information” so he can ride on the coat-tails of those who “know and DO” against those who “waffle”.
But if you cannot make windmills work, even at 40%, when the wind is howling day and night at most times of the year then you should give up. Just thinking of the con-merchants in the UK and Uruguay.
I get the impression that everyone who visits the Islands is impressed-perhaps they think the Falkland Islanders still live in caves before they arrive.
Dec 14th, 2013 - 06:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6
That's why you are short of energy, which isn't very clever.
Can't remember any traffic lights in the Falkland Islands -but perhaps the drivers aren't lunatics-so they don't need them.
You seem to think it is a disadvantage that the Islands don't have a massive city and population-but that is exactly why they are well off, and there is no poverty.
However more advanced you seem to think Argentina is than the Falklands, you can't even build jet engines which the UK has been doing since the 1940s.
13 and 14. You have to expect that some of them are have preconceptions fed by Argentine propaganda. That's why it's so important for us to keep up our publicity efforts.
Dec 14th, 2013 - 07:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for the guy's title; that did make me laugh also but then again even their school teachers call themselves professors in Spanish and okay, you can say that's the translation, but they never translate it back when they are using English. Still call themselves professors.
Rossy and his team at the power station have done a great job but I'm not aware that they've reinvented the wheel so it is a little surprising that these guys were so impressed. Maybe it was really just a combination of them being extra super polite and the way it was reported mixed with an expectation that we'd be still burning peat and oil lamps.
“...his own could develop to the mutual benefit of ”both countries”. BOTH COUNTRIES!!!!. What!?

Dec 14th, 2013 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w30gXc79b6g
ChrisR - 40% of total energy requirement is from the wind in Stanley. That means -here- wind turbines are cost effective and make money. You cannot be 100% as otherwise you loose a stable current when the wind drops.
Dec 14th, 2013 - 09:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We would be paying and extra 6-8 pence a unit if all our power came from the diesel generators- and at the same time the Govt are getting their money repaid to them in 8yrs from the Power Station savings - instead of original planned 12-15yr payback. So win-win all round.
And Falklands top the world list for Countries with most % of renewable energy production.
Have seen a few turbines near Punta Areenas in southern Chile- maybe now they will build more as windy there as well.
Problem in UK is you simply dont have enough wind - other than in a few extreme west and north-west areas, so nost of them will never ever pay for themselves and will continue as an inflation cost on what you have to pay there for energy.But that is the price of Green Politics!
Joe-M - Come on then- what % of Electricity in Rio Grande or Rio Gallegos is wind power? tell us - as they have similar wind levels to Stanley

I am very happy to confirm that we have no traffic lights, and are not likely to have in the foreseeable future. We don't have any roundabouts either, but we do have a high vehicle:population ratio. We also have lots of beautiful countryside to drive in if we so wish.

After all, even just a blade can be so long, it isn't the kind of thing you'd want to haul anywhere except of a huge motorway. They don't exactly bend around corners to avoid obstacles that you will inevitably find on smaller roads that you would expect near the end of the journey.

Well, you have the first letter (C) for cynical when I see this sort of “puffing” for someone who is supposed to be well up the ladder of UMAG. You see when you are THERE and not on your way with your career, puffing is a bit OTT and “cheap” as far as your peers are concerned. In other words you don’t have to blow your own trumpet any more: you have made it.
Anyway, a search of UMAG, the whole site, and then the engineering departments for “Humberto Vidal” came up with:
1) Williams Vidal, Cecilia Janet, Directora de Administración y Personal, UMAG [his wife perhaps?]
2) HUMBERTO VIDAL GUTIÉRREZ, Profesor Asistente, Licenciado en Ciencias de la Ingeniería, Ingeniero Civil en Mecánica, Universidad de Magallanes, Master en Ingeniería Mecánica, Universidad Santa Catarina, Brasil, Doctor en Ingeniería Mecánica, Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina, Brasil (2004).
3) HUMBERTO OYARZO PÉREZ
Profesor Asociado, Licenciado en Ciencias de la Ingeniería, Ingeniero Mecánico, Universidad de La Frontera (2003), Ingeniero de Ejecución en Mecánica, Universidad Técnica del Estado (1973), Master en Ingeniería Mecánica, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Chile (1985). Diploma de Estudios Avanzados y Candidato a Doctor en Energías Renovables, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, España (2005). Especialista en Simulación y Diseño de Sistemas Eólicos.
Here is the link:

I checked the pdf’s for those listed but none of them showed ANY papers published by them or any projects undertaken by them so I cannot see how any of these match the criteria, unless I have made a mistake?

I knew a guy from Punta Arenas years ago who worked at the university and his speciality was alternative energy. He had an engineering degree of some sort. Last I'd heard of him he'd been employed by an organisation in the UK and was doing very well over there.

Joe,
Don't you believe it.
Think would LIKE you to believe that this is ”accepted“ as an established fact.
In fact, nothing has changed, except that the ”A-Voice“ part of the Panto Horse has shown his true role as Anti-English, Anti-UK, and booster for the SNP.
Significantly, that was the focus of the ”Dame Dover “ persona.
”A-Voice“, the sock with no background, simply replaced the flawed ”Dover“ caricature of a retired British ”Modern Major General” Serviceman (or whatever) :-)
Anyway, Welcome back. Nothing has changed.
That's the one Joe, I seem to recall Doddy was in the Royal Navy but managed to skilfully avoid any form of action. After years of distinguished service behind a desk he was finally awarded a good conduct medal and now lives off his ridiculously high MOD pension. Surely he'll put in an appearance.

Joe, I am English, in the South East. I have visited South America a few times, Argentina, Ecuador, the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic peninsular. The Falkland impressed me. I was involved in designing a lot of the military equipment, and parts of the ships that defeated the colonialist invaders. In February I shall be in Chile on holiday. I did try to get to the Falklands for a week from Punta Arenas to see more but the flights are fully booked.
Dec 15th, 2013 - 11:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This site reports some interesting news on the islands, pity about the trolls. Think is obviously in the UK somewhere as is A- Hole. You can tell from their posting times. No one from RGland gets up at 4am...

Dec 15th, 2013 - 11:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It was me alrighty...I remember you waltzing in uttering some drivel about how nothing had changed...I was politely telling you to buggeroff back out again as your post was meaningless...hence wouldn't be missed.
I'm not as polite as Mr Think nor did I know you or of you, so I could care less.
Faz must be British...he has a firm interest in false teeth and boot polish...I hear...

.....your opinion isn't everyone's and is rarely valid...you are basically too simple to catch on...it's the wannabe in you....
BTW show me just one instance of me supporting the SNP....just one... gosh you are such a wee ned....

Oh well done Sherlock...was it the...“I'll meet in Glasgow debacle” from the other thread that gave me away....Poirot is dead perhaps you should fill his shoes...
A-Hole, guessed you were Scotch, we can tell by the whiskey fumes and general beligerance. All mouth and no nickers... Glasgow figures, low IQ rules out Edinburgh...

Dec 16th, 2013 - 12:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Don't worry Troy; I don't believe a word that deadbeat says. It makes sense that his newer characters have no personal details attached to them though after the mess he go himself in with the Commander. I enjoyed flushing that one out as a complete piece of his own imagination. Imagine trying to convince anyone from the Falklands that ridiculous character was genuine. Credibility check anyone? Chuckle chuckle. Good to hear from you Troy.

Oh what a beautiful part of Chile. You represent not just one but two great Chilean products then. The cheeky little comic book character and the famous drink

Wonderful and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance on here. Your background sounds interesting and I'd love to learn more. Where abouts in SE England? Sussex? Kent? Nice one anyway and no doubt you've already sussed out the Trolls. I don't think any of them live in Argentina. In fact I suspect that the person behind Think, A Voice, DoD, Surfer, Chucuero, etc etc, is closer to the Dove's character than the actual Think one. Still, deadbeats like him just add to life's rich tapestry.
Chuckle chuckle

Scotch is a drink...
Whiskey is Irish or American.....

Glasgow...ever heard of Lord Kelvin...or Greenock's...James Watt...
Keep your mouth shut while you're ahead....I'm slipping into ridicule mode...;-))))
...and you are easy meat....Gummy...
BTW....where does it say I'm a Scot..???
Think, if you agree with what FCO stands for then why try and twist it otherwise. And yes I believe there once was an English Navy and a Royal Army - about 500 or so years ago! But for the last century or two as you very well know it has beena nd is the Royal Navy and the British Army.,
Dec 16th, 2013 - 12:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0That Scotch twat Think is all of a blather now, so easy to wind up... Eat your porridge and keep watching Braveheart its about as genuine as you are! BTW porridge is easy to eat with no teeth, very common in the Scotch after years of deep fried Mars Bars :-)
Dec 16th, 2013 - 08:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I find it hilarious Think, Marcos, et al are conspicuously absent from all the articles about the rioting and utter chaos in Argentina.
Dec 16th, 2013 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0What a tool.
Analysts are saying this next economic crisis is setting itself much like the one they had in 1975.
They have lots of crisis to choose from each with a little different flavor
Bahahahaha

Go start another fight in traffic or Starbucks, or stomp on kittens - whatever you do to enjoy yourself at Christmas.
You must be a right 'merry old sole' (pun intended)

Couldn't bring myself to say you possessed a soul.

Don't get me started on “bottom-dwelling”... ugh!
