Corny but I suppose it could have been worse.

I like them, Ty loves going up to the windmills, they are alot bigger than you think tho..

alot better looking thnan a power station!!

I've just come back from Prestatyn, there is a huge wind farm out to sea, they look fabulous!

Brainstormer - What would use for more economical power then bud?

We should sack this whole lark off and go back to the stone age. Nowt wrong with that eh. At least our moans would be genuine. A bit of famine, disease and pestilence. Maybe some war and death too! Hey we've got the 4 Horsemen! ;-)
I think another one should be ignorance. Maybe they'd open a vacancy for him (or her). ;-)

Slightley off topic...

How about employing people to provide power by attaching cycles to alternators? Get the unemployed doing it. ;-)
Keep fit, power homes, employ folk and win the olympics (again).

There's a windfarm out in Morecambe Bay too. Not very noticeable most of the time but we've just come back from a holiday in Heysham and could see them from there. They look quite serene.

I wonder if the Dutch made all this fuss about windmills when they first started to build them?

[Alex7201]

I don't think the Dutch know the meaning of the word. I can understand some folks point of view, I'm neither here nor there with it though. Quite good at killing birds I hear though.

i think there a real eyesore what good do they do anyone the electric bills dont go down in fact having to look at them is nearly as bad as the bills going up........ thanks john

Lol Stoops, would you prefer a nice big power station on yer doorstep?

[stoopslad]

nothing but bloody eyesors

When you think of the environment, how long before you can off set their carbon footprint against their manufacture, installation etc, along with their running before they are considered effective? quite a bit off I would say. not nearly as effective as other means available, and those means not been as environmentally friendly as perhaps a wind turbine in some people's eyes.
