I couldn't believe this picture when I saw it, this sort of development is a disgrace.

Something odd there: the so-called before and after pics have an entirely different sky-line.........and I don't mean the turbines.
TBH, the turbine pic looks as if it's been taken through a long lens, foreshortening the distances, making the turbines look so much closer.

I actuall kind of like the aesthetics of wind farms (yes, possibly not if it was the first thing i saw everyday) but i have to agree there is a time and place, and that doesn't look the place.

It wont, they will just change things around as soon as people start realising its not the issue that its made it to be. Same as them changing it from global warming to climate change when people started complaining about no summers etc.

I've only ever seen them in white. I wonder if they painted them the same colour as the hillside they would be less obtrusive?
And they take out so many seabirds

Iirc the colour was to with the protective coating as they are nearly always located in harsh environments, but interesting point im suprised no-one has tried it as it may solve a whole lot of problems and opposition.

It's just taken from a different angle, look at the church on the left to get your bearings, or the angle of the white building on top of the hill.
The mountain in the bottom picture would be off to the left in the top picture.

i have been thinking of the 'global warming' issue for a while now, does anyone know how many trees it would take to cancel out the co2 from say a scooby, i heard that trees love the stuff
Lets say for aruements sake that it would take 10 good sized trees......well why dont we as a country undertake a massive reforestation on all the land that is sitting idle? we used to have huge forests and so did a lot of other countries. personally i think most of the so called global warming is in part directly related to the loss of rain forests an other green areas.

I quite like windfarms, we got up close and personal with one last summer, the turbines are HUGE when you get up close If you stand under the blades and look up you think that they're going to cut your head off
This is me and a wind turbine in Wales, as you can see it's quite big:

Once every one converts to wind energy then what? Won't the government find a way of taxing wind? We won't be able to fart without a tax disc branded onto our buttocks!
I'm all in for recycling and not landfilling. Can see sense in that but some of the other stuff like building houses out of straw in the woods and wearing trousers made of tree bark is barmy.
'mentalists. Short for Environmentalists!

It'll never end while the muppets can use it as a way to gain revenue from you and I! However within time the sheep who believe that using a car to get from a to b is one of the only causes of gw see the light, I'm sure it will disappear just like all the other bullsh!t the muppets have thrown at us in the past, but I think they'll be struggling to find yet another doomsday fallacy which will net the kind of revenue that the climate change bollocks has!
