I like windmills too, there are a lot of not in my backyard types around, WELL TRY MY BACKYARD.
5 miles to Drax power station, 16 miles to Eggbourgh power station then approx 25 miles to Ferry Bridge power station, all coal burners, all spewing out filth and acid, (ask Bill Sables if you dont believe me). Drax is the biggest in Europe, it was putting acid on trees in Norway, nice eh, from the very large chimney it uses to disperse this crap. Three stations eating 1000+ tons each of coal per hour. Yes I would like to see wind and wave power in use a lot more, in this case would'nt you. And as for the not in my backyard type, take the cables away. If they want power at the expence of our health or the waste of resources it is causing, let then light there way with candles.
