Offshore windfarm

I'm all in favour too.

I don't know why some people have a problem with renewable energy, it it because there are people with vested interests in keeping energy prices high?

I know some people don't like the look of them, but pylons are hardly attractive and we have just had to get used to the sight of them.

Sue, I agree about having some places where you don't see them. The Cairngorms National Park does not allow windmills, though you can see some from the outer edges. A rural-dwelling relative of mine thinks we will all have some sort of windmill at some point in the near future.

Minimoon that is, indeed, marvellous

I think they look very elegant and as long as they are producing power (sometimes they seem to be switched off and aren't moving even though there is wind.) can't see what the problem is with them.

There was once a report on the radio that they can even take the sails out of hurricanes, and building huge wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico would reduce the devastation in the Southern US States.

I got my first sight of it yesterday. It looks very busy out to sea, what with the wind farms and the all the ships queuing to get into harbour! My 4yo GS loved it.

I don't really have any issues with wind farms although it would be nice to keep some areas where you can enjoy the views without modern encumbrances.

I'm all in favour. Don't find them particularly intrusive (quite attractive in some landscapes) and think the clean enetgy option is the future.
Same goes for solar and tidal systems.

The largest offshore wind farm in the world began generating yesterday. It's called the Walney Extension and is 12 miles off the Cumbrian coast. It can generate enough electricity to power 600,000 homes.
I think it's marvellous.
