My local community has just successfully taken their case for not allowing a wind turbine refurbishment plant being built on the site of a derelict power station, to the Scottish Parliament who are now reviewing the planning application. Allowing it to be built would mean the whole of our local coastline changing, the local fishing industry damaged beyond repair and huge tankers coming into berth for transportation of the blades, which would then be taken by road on massive trailers which would change the whole infrastructure of the coastal towns and villages who would be affected. We already have hillsides full of turbines and more and more farmers are succumbing to the temptation of the grants and subsidies offered to 'plant' them on their land. Your local farmer's turbine will quickly be followed by many more.

By regulation, they have to be set a certain distance away from the nearest human habitation. I have a feeling the sound would drive me to distraction as I find any continuous noise to be difficult to take ... that being said, we need to do something about our energy situation besides continuing to extract coal and gas from the ground, and our climate here only lends itself to solar power part of the year. It's a conundrum.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-86152041364871940112015-05-16T16:09:53.194+00:002015-05-16T16:09:53.194+00:00I like them, they are like prima ballerinas as the...I like them, they are like prima ballerinas as they perform their graceful arcs.
