Re: Wind farm poll.
Ban the things!!! Let's have more nuclear power stations and loads more coal fired ones too!!! Good dirty energy is what we want!!!
Only joking. I think they are ok and good clean energy. Everything we do will result in loss of habitat and possible death for some poor creature from building projects to food growing. If this site is deemed to be ok what's the problem?? To be more effective the turbines need to be higher up on a hill where the wind is stronger. It's not like it's a designated AONB or National Park. The majority of people will not even know the location and will not see them purely because they don't venture out that way. Ossy is about 2 miles away as the crow flies and there are many false horizons. Apart from the pub who'll be in the vicinity?? Sheep and walkers/fellrunners etc to name a few. They aren't ugly in any way either.
Someone mentioned Hydro-electricity. Yep good point. But there'd be a lot more devastation from the production of the place and unlike windfarms they take a whole lot more maintenance.
An ever increasing population means ever increasing housing stock and therefore ever increasing power needs. Just where do some people think it comes from?? Hamsters??
