True, but I'm not sure it needs to be reduced to one choice or the other.

Part of the issue is that people in some parts of the country want electricity without having to see the generating equipment (in whatever form), so they're quite happy with the "out of sight, out of mind" option that comes from placing these things as far away as possible from their own homes.

Personally, I think each village, town and city should have the means of producing the energy it wants to use in its own backyard. That would focus people's minds on what they really want. I'd rather have some turbines (or other form of generating equipment) near to my suburban home than see swathes of unspoilt wilderness used for my convenience.


Agree with you SC. Why do issues always have to be reduced to 'them' and 'us'. It really is so infantile, not to mention counter-productive. My beef is not with the technology, but with how I believe it is being used.... my viewpoint being based upon what I have seen and heard in the field. It seems to me that the number of units shifted is currently seen as more important than the results obtained. Publish robust data which contradicts this and I will gladly amend my position.
