Wind does looks a bit light tomorrow !, but as long as there is enough wind for the blades to go around, even if not reaching the cut in speed, no one will care. The switch on event will still be a success.
But if the button is pressed and nothing happens , might be better waiting till Friday.
They should have stuck to their original plan and brought it online last week. Ah well, personally I wouldn't have made a live event of it as that's beholden to the weather. A quiet, filmed energise to be released to the press. The 'event' was meant to be a picnic or similar when fully operational. This is a riskier potential flat balloon in the hope of lifting profile and WT2 sales. Who, me, cynical?
They might have even already done the operational filming, and its just a TV interview with Sarah doing her hysterical sales pitch pressing a fake button. Then they can splice a few bits together for a professional release. Ripple were asking if any locals who are members could turn up for TV interviews on Tues (tomorrow).
You're closer than me and I only got 40 mile range on today.

Why not give Mart a nudge, he's a local so might fit the bill on both counts.
That's the mental image right there. Never seen Mart but visual of this old white haired guy bouncing about in the background with a python T shirt on BBC Wales.

If Mart were ever to appear in a Ripple video you'd know it was him by his cat scarred hands.
(unless mart wears driving gloves, because heated steering wheels take extra nrg)

Someone should tell them that a photograph of a key is as good as the key itself, especially combined with a photo of the exact door that key works in.
