We have few unspoiled areas left around these islands, so I don't think it's acceptable to ruin one of those just because it's windy.


I agree very much with this. Mid-Wales and the Monadhliath mountains of Scotland seem to be viewed as "expendable", sacrificial lambs in the choices being made, because, unlike the Cairngorms, or Snowdonia, or the Lake District, they're not tourist honey pots.

Yet both Mid-Wales and the Monadhliath have a remoteness that those tourist areas can only dream of. I think that remoteness should be saved, personally. Put some of the turbines up alongside motorways, out to sea, over the Home Counties of England (yes, they do get wind there, it's not confined to places out of sight of Westminster).

Let's keep those few surviving bastions of remoteness, why spoil the few places that have been left untouched by industry?
