I went up to Overday Farm today to find out more about Gavin's proposed turbine, see the spot etc. All a lot of fuss about nothing there I think. We need more wind turbines, many many more, and soon!

The objectors here were unfortunately quite ill informed, but now that they have the "bee in their bonnets" seem incapable of hearing any other viewpoint. Most are recent incomers, either retired, with horses or with lots of dogs and no connection with agriculture or with real managment of the land.

Their existence will help save this planet. Happy to report Christine - we just need Kerry to pop on and let us know what happened at the end as like I say, I had to leave just before eight. Hopefully she got out alive!! I agree Christine – I think they are beautiful because they are a solution. Their existence will help save this planet.

East Devon Planning can help by making the case clearer and easier for individuals and businesses to install wind turbines, especially on farms. Wind turbines will help the country secure its energy needs without too much reliance on imported energy. Wind turbines and other forms of renewable energy will help the local economy thrive. The recently announced feed in tariffs will allow land owners and homeowners to earn an impressive return on any investment when installing wind, hydro and solar PhotoVoltaic http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news/pn10_010/pn10_010.aspx Everyone should speak to their local renewable energy installers and invest as soon as possible for a SAFE and SECURE return.

I think they are a beautiful sight - the picture above confirms this. Whenever I am travelling away from home and wind turbines appear on the horizon, I cannot take my eyes off them. I also find it disheartening that some people can only interpret the word "environment" to mean what they see around them, failing to appreciate its real meaning. It is a contradiction to say that you are concerned about the environment and then to object to wind turbines. I am glad the meeting at Luppitt appears to have come out on the right side. Thanks for the report, Sharon. I have never understood why people object to wind turbines. I think they are a beautiful sight – the picture above confirms this.
