I remember listening to a wildlife programme on BBC Radio 4 some years ago, where they were reading out letters sent to the Times about changes to the countryside. They rehearsed the well worn arguments about farmers putting profit first, the destruction of our traditional landscape and the loss of habitat for wildlife. However, these letters were written in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and were complaining about the planting of hedgerows to create enclosures. Change "planting" to "ripping out" and they could have been written in the closing years of the 20th century with all the same arguments.
People don't like change and tend to see the worst in anything new. Who knows, in the year 2215, people may look back at wind farms with nostalgia.
