Windfarm anyone?

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...dfarm_plan.php

Looks like Accrington might be getting a windfarm!!!

That is if the plans go in and the meetings with councillors go ok and public meetings etc

They look better than singing, ringing trees, as far as I'm concerned!

Well I don't think they look better or worse than pylons but because there are so many pylons around I don't see how anyone can object to them. I don't find either offensive to look at but they are a better and more sustainable source of energy.

It wasn't a dig, it was a genuine observation. I think they look quite graceful and I find them far more aesthetically pleasing than the tree. Only my personal opinion, mind!

Cheers for that cashy.

Depends on whether I have been on the veggies or rum and black. Either way the wind farm I become could power my house. :O

At least windfarms serve a useful purpose. The singing, ringing tree seems to have no use whatsoever, except to win "awards" that the vast majority of us who live in the real world couldn't care less about.
