I was one of the few Councillors who attended a briefing with the company with our Planning Department. It was interesting and they are very committed to the ecology and local feelings.

I don't think the main question is will they blight the landscape, though I am sure for some people it is. In these troubled times with energy, the main question for me is do we need them or not. I believe we do so I would be prepared to make some compromise.

If we ever went to rationing, would the fact that it is here help Hyndburn? The output they said would be around 15-20 Megawatts which is quite significant.
