Subject: RE: BS: Onshore windfarms
I agree Pete. Ideally, wind farms should owned by the nearest villages so they reaped the benefit of them and could sell unused power back to the grid.

Unfortunately, not many have this option. Sounds like room for legislation that states the company buying the land and putting up these farms must make the neighbouring village a major stakeholder.
