Could the feed in tarrifs scheme help pay for Headington Library?

Did you know that as a result of the Government's feed in tariffs scheme, both landowners and homeowners could participate in this scheme see http://www.ofgem.gov.uk/Sustainability/Environment/fits/Pages/fits.aspx

  1. A Proven12.1kW wind turbine can earn between £5,000-£15,000 in annual income depending on location, wind velocity etc. see http://www.vgenergy.co.uk/wind-turbines/proven-energy-wind-turbines-products/proven-energy-turbines-farmers/
  2. While a photovoltaic 3kW system will produce on average 2640kWh per annum which in monetary terms means a payment of £1137.80 each year for 25 years? http://www.vgenergy.co.uk/solar-photovoltaic/
Perhaps Bury Knowle Park could be the location of a couple of wind turbines and the roofs of the various buildings in the park could be covered in solar cells. No doubt such a solution could help contribute a signigficant portion of the funding needed to run Headington Library. It would also help in the ffight against global warming.
