My own electricity has been supplied by 'Good Energy' since visiting the wind farm at Delabole several years ago. The turbines have a grace and beauty of their own and are certainly more attractive than any nuclear power station. If people want electricity they must accept some visual impact on the landscape -and it will always have to be in somebody's back yard! We are already accustomed to pylons across the countryside. If we continue using CO2 producing technologies this 'green and pleasant' land is likely to end up as uninhabitable desert and/or seascape anyway! We need to dispel the myth that nuclear power is a low CO2 source of energy. When you consider the vast amount of [high CO2 creating] concrete required to build, then decommission a nuclear reactor, the transportation and disposal of toxic waste, not to mention the lethal legacy our children will have to deal with, the nuclear road is a very irresponsible and short sighted one to take. Given the current knowledge and technologies available, the wind, water and solar route is the only way to go. Bee x I favour virtually all wind turbine proposals.
