Wind farms - should they be curbed?

The government is saying so, but I don't mind them.

I don't like pylons angry sad but wind farms seem OK to me.

But I don't actually live near any, so perhaps it's very different if you do?

Ah I see flicketyb I thought you meant the nation. It's you that has a very old house - am I remembering correctly?
3000 wind turbines not very many really is it. You could hide them in Powys and only about 3 people would be able to see them.

Saying don't shoot the messenger *flickety is a cop out. You chose to post dubious crap statistics which bear no relation to reality on the thread and expect us to say 'wow fancy that, James Lovelock, must be true' . I started to read some of his work once and gave up wondering who was financing his fantasy research.

Decided to come down off my high horse and worry about other things. I can't save the planet so why get into a tizz? All I can do is my bit. Peace and light [dove emoticon]

And how about this one JO7? About half a mile from my birthplace!

Yep, j07 just a very few miles (about 3) from me, that one was! There have been a lot of applications in the North Devon area for wind turbines, think there will be quite a few more people opposing them now!
