Work to begin on England's biggest wind turbine
Work to build England's biggest wind turbine will start in February.
The 150-metre structure will dwarf the other turbines already in Avonmouth, Bristol, when it is finished.Project development manager David Tudgey said the turbine would be a "real testament of hope for the future". It is hoped it will be up and running by spring, providing low-carbon electricity to 3,500 homes and saving 1,965 tonnes of CO2 per year.Charles Gamble said the turbine's size made it "quite difficult" to build on the site
