Subject: RE: BS: Onshore windfarms
How anyone can regard a huge, way-beyond-human-scale, concrete and metal structure "beautiful" is completely beyond me. They are never going to contribute more than a tiny single-figure percentage towards our energy needs and they are inefficient and noisy. They are all over Cornwall like a rash now. They are there to make us feel good about leaving the telly on standby. They have nothing to do with reducing our utter addiction to profligate energy use. We have a clump of 'em near Delabole. I could bloody weep in summer when I see convoys of motor homes and huge4x4s streaming past them on the nearby road. I bet the drivers think the turbines are beautiful too.
