Re: Wind turbines at Rudston

I have no issue with wind turbines and actually think they are rather beautiful things. As long as there is no damage to the archaeology, I am absolutely in favour.
The Rudston monolith is unnatural, the church is unnatural, the farmed landscape is unnatural, just as the turbines are. They do not belch smoke or harm the environment. In my view they should be embraced as a positive addition to the modern landscape.

Considering the course we have taken since the first monuments went up and the first farms were created, I think the turbines represent a period of our history when we perhaps began to 'care' again, for the planet, for eachother (if it doesn't sound too wet) and I think a rural landscape which incorporates both prehistoric monuments and this beautiful machinery born of forward thinking and representing human know-how used for positive effect is a very fine thing indeed.
