We are lining everyone elses pockets so we might as well line theirs. Sooner or later we will need other forms of energy because once North Sea oil and gas runs out we would be dependent on others for our supplies with all the pitfalls that comes with that. They may be unsitely not well placed even a slight eco problem but its better than diving back to the stone age. We cant have polluting coal fired power stations nuclear is a contentious issue bio fuel couldnt provide enough for our daily needs. With all the rain and cloud even solar is not viable nor is hydro as that will also spoil large areas of beauty in mountainous areas. All in all windfarms are the lesser evil.
