On that point, I acknowledge there must be a shift from fossil fuels to renewable and environmentally friendly energy. As for the new designs, however, the new designs I have seen result in them becoming higher and bigger. A design called the Saphonian version 1 actually also has a storage facility, the first in the world to so do. It has no blades but resembles the sail of a ship. My point is that this design would answer three of the questions with regard to height, storage and continuity of supply. Were Mr. D'Arcy in a position to state something like that was available and could be obtained through whatever company - I understand no company in Ireland is doing it - it also should be taken into consideration.
