Like I said earlier, my view is that context is important. But I'm not sure that local property prices ought to really be a consideration in whether to put up a turbine or not, in my view. Presumably the owners of the properties are happy to use electricity, as long as it comes from a power station that's a long way away, out of sight and is only devaluing someone else's property prices!


Actually, perhaps where that argument is used, the objectors could be asked to devise an alternative plan for how they could produce the electricity they need themselves, using whatever alternative technology they think would be more suitable. That might focus the mind a bit more, as it's more difficult to sustain an objection if you're expected to provide an alternative solution yourselves. I dislike the idea that people want the benefit without having to bear a share of the burden.
