After reading someone expounding on the ugliness of wind farms etc: No, I
have never bothered standing, watching them slowly revolve.
We had some complaints from the Greenies and NIMBYs when our local wind
farm was built a few years ago. The said it spoilt the view and killed
birds among other things.
I went for a drive past it and realised that you just couldn't see it from
the road, no way. As for cute little birdies, they are very good at
dodging thos big, slow moving blades. None has ever been killed, there
would be a lot of dead bodies around if there were. As for noise, there is
very little, in fact it is hard to hear them on the top of a windy hill.
As for the aesthetics; when landing at Liverpool it is necessary to make 3
360 deg turns (short runway) so you get a good view of the long string of
turbines along the coast and into the Mersey estuary as well as the much
bigger ones out in Morecambe Bay where the noise of the sea must surely
drown out any noise they make.
To me they are artistic, a bit like surrealistic trees drawn by Salvador
Dali.
As for thr local Greenies, when their complaints were quashed and the
county council offered to take them down and replace them with a coal
fired powwer station, we got a deafening silence!
