It's all new at the moment but it is moving in that direction. It may take some time but we will move away from oil and power the world with renewable energy. And so what if some fossil fuels are used in the supply chain for the moment, as long as we are constantly reducing it there will be a reduction in CO2 emissions.

      It's widley accepted that the carbon payback is 2.3 years. See here for a latest study on a Scottish wind farm where the carbon payback was calcualted to be 47 days (bit.ly/2FzmILg). So it does depend on the specific project, but it is usually within only a few years. Certainly better than coal :)

      It's quite easy. Basically it's the installation process in reverse. It takes about 3 days to remove the structure above ground. The foundation is not normally removed below 1m in depth but if needed it can be broken up and recycled as a sub-base in roads. It's really not that difficult or expensive. We have to put a decommissioning bond in with the Council to ensure we remove it at the end of the life and if we don't they use the bond to remove it.
