Palestra wind turbine blow

20070129Palestra
Remember all the fuss when, last August, Livingstone announced plans to retrofit Will Alsop's Palestra office building on Blackfriars Road with 14 wind turbines (to make it the capital's first combined heat and power plant)? Well, according to an anonymous Rat and Mouse tipster, those said turbines have suddenly, er, vanished. Perhaps they blew away? Anybody know?

Apparently they were recalled by the manufacturer after they found a fault in a single turbine installed elsewhere. Sigh.

They only seemed to be active for about 50% of the time anyway. Maybe they we dealing with some teething problems.
