Wind Farms

I'd like to do a quick post on the new ban on wind farms in 'scenic' locations. I have to say I'm disappointed because many people will use this as an excuse to prevent wind farms from being built in their areas - who decides what is 'scenic' and what is not?

And why move them away from cities towns and villages? This is where they are needed and frankly, most towns and cities would not be 'uglified' by a few wind farms in the area! This is not a wise decision.

I do believe that SSSI sites and nature reserves etc should be protected, and I believe they already are - it would not be possible to build wind farms in these locations. So what does 'scenic' mean and can anyone claim that their area is 'scenic' just so that they can stop them being built there?

Wind farms are the future. Along with solar panels and other renewable energy. Oil and gas will one day run out, or be so expensive than no ordinary person could possibly afford them. We need these farms built and the more people object, the more they harm their own future and that of generations to come. Stop being selfish and let it happen. Most farms are placed out of the way anyway.

And please do not comment about how they don't work - that's rubbish. Would the government really spend so very much money on something that was proven not to work - on this kind of scale?

We are a forward thinking nation - lets keep it that way!
