What I'd like to know katex is were does the s**t come out, at least the old Windmills had a door and you could live in them. Why doesn't some bright spark include living accomodation, then you could really fall in love with them.:D. Free lectric and all mod coms chucked in.:p

Re: Windfarm anyone?

I'm another that finds them quite hypnotic and graceful although I do know they can be a bit noisy and are a danger to local birdlife.

In these days of 'green' madness I think we will be making choices between things like this and nuclear. I'm not fussed either way, YMMV of course

Re: Windfarm anyone?

I also find them graceful and aesthetically pleasing to look at on a hillside, although I do agree that they shouldn't be situated where they are going to be a hazard for people living nearby. Surely we have enough space that they can be located away from houses? I think they are far more attractive than pylons and I much prefer the idea of wind energy to nuclear energy.

Or of course we could all sit in the cold and dark and rely on pedal power to keep our PCs going.

Re: Windfarm anyone?

It seems that it is likely to be at map ref SD783232
which the expanse of moor between Haslingden Rd (top road) and Grane Rd. The Observer says that a joint consultation with Hyndburn & Rossendale Council is needed, and the council border goes through the middle of this map ref I have shown. Google earth does not show it to be near any built up area - maybe there are some hermits up there - who knows

Sorry Willow - I must be having a 'senior moment' or two
I was using Multimap for that ref
Use BB4 4 UK on Google Earth
On google earth the roads are Roundhill Rd and Park Rd
