Wind farms
Down in Cornwall there seem to be a lot of wind turbines.
There is a lot of NIMBYism because it spoils a view but I don't think that it does - to me, it doesn't look worse than something like Angel of the North. If people complain because of the low frequency noise that's one thing but when they're in the middle of a field or even out at see, I think they're fine and to be encouraged (to a degree). What are people's thoughts on them? |

On NIMBY's they have to ask themselves do we want a power station in the same place instead or do we have power cuts. We haven't built a "major" power station in many a year BUT we keep using more and more electricity.

Re: Wind farms
I love cornwall, it is gorgeous and certainly not spoilt by the odd wind turbine. I'll happily swap amazing roads fresh air and the odd turbine for my filthy air and cramped roads full of white Audi ******s anyday!

Re: Wind farms
I don't mind them but sometimes they can be a bit too much if there are large numbers of them.

Re: Wind farms
I've enough wind to supply the whole town with a lifetime supply of gas.
Joking aside. Bloody horrible things. Spoil any beautiful landscapes. Scottish hills peppered with them. We have one up the road. I swear all the birds fly the wrong way round because of them.

Wind farms
Why are they always white? Why not a full rainbow, or welsh ones could be green and yellow like giant daffodils?
