Windfarm anyone? - Page 2

i think the windfarms are quite pleasing on the eye and i,m not against the proposal

well ive seen them in places where they really have made a blip on the eye and believe me i think if any of you had them close to you , you would have a different view on them ..they are noisy, ugly and are taking over some of the most panoramic beautiful spots of land ... tell me if you lived up on the tops of ossy and had georgous views , would you really want one of them in your way?? i certainly wouldnt... good luck with em is all i can say.

well ive seen places where these awful things have been placed and its dreadful... they totally ruin the landscape ,they are soo noisey and i for one would not like to live close to them ....think very hard before you go praising these awful things ... if they are out at sea fine but you really wouldnt like them on your doorstep....

I heard that they are really noisy. I was gonna buy a house on the road to rochdale (owd betts) but later found about the windfarm being built up there between edenfield and rochdale. did a lot of searching and there is a lot of opposition to them in the area.

I cant understand why they dont build them in the sea or near the sea. when i went to tenerife there were loads on the beach

theres quite a few out to sea over here and they arent a prob but i certainly wouldnt like to live close to em ..they make an awful buzzing noise ....

How very very dare you suggest that I would lower my standards to look after the needs of an overbloated flour grinder in a blue dress !! Umph!

This is something new and we would have to get use,t to them poping up all over the place now

cashman · 24-05-2007, 19:45

cant see a lot wrong with em,sighted in a suitable place, i love the countryside as much as anyone from a town can, but the fact remains we need ENERGY, as i said earlier i find em pleasing to the eye, so if their situated out of living areas i cannot see the problem.

Here, here Cashman, wouldn't like them to be a nuisance to anyone though.

Suppose you have seen in the Observer a proposal to site some over Ossie .. well, would certainly put us on the map for interest value if nowt else.
