the amount of wind power we have in scotland, there is every chance 100% of scotland's electricity could be provided. what makes the location so prime for a wind farm? geographically, it's the highest point between the coasts, so it's very exposed, as you can feel from the wind, and it's an ideal location to put a wind farm and maximise wind yield. thank you. later, peter will take me for a drive around the site to talk about the management of the turbines and to get an idea of the scale of this wind farm. and with this example of the power of wind, we start the weather review of 2018 in the netherlands, injanuary. wind so strong it blows people off their feet. these are some of the strongest winds ever recorded here. this storm that strikes the us city of boston injanuary is dubbed a bomb cyclone, combining wind with snow and flooding and then this. as temperatures plummet, the flood freezes, entombing dozens of cars in ice. in the uk, the first day of spring looked like this. the infamous beast from the east had arrived. snow blanketed large swathes of the british isles, giving the col
