You could grow to love them I reckon! :)


Yes I like them as well, more news from ITV on the subject, it really doesn't look too bad where the farmer wants to put it but there again is it necessary? Note Australian visitor comment, 'it will spoil the view'.

I think the farmer has it just about right in that report.
It makes me wonder if people objected to having a 12ft stone erected way back when. 'Spoiling the view'.
There is no point in studying the past if we are afraid to go forward.
I don't know whether the turbine is absolutely necessary, or the finer detail of the proposal, so there may well be a case against it for other reasons but based upon what I have seen here it seems to me a fuss about very little.
If it was genuinely detrimental to the landscape it would be glaringly obvious to all. It just doesnt bother me in the slightest but I would like to hear others views.



I see them as a necessary evil if you will.
Dunno your age (i'm early 40's) but i guess there comes a point when you sorta oppose any radical change (which i do see these monstrosities as) but they are the way forwards i guess, And much better than having yet another power station thrown up somewhere.
Going on the video Moss posted it doesn't seem to have too much of an impact, Much better than the photoshopped pic i posted anyway.
