I'm the last to want to see beautiful wild places despoiled by wind turbines or solar panels for that matter but they are a fact of life, in my view less damaging than electricity pylons marching across the landscape.
What are the other options? Wave/tidal projects or new nuclear power stations. Existing nuclear power stations are being decommissioned, fossil fuels are running out, oil producing countries can now hold the world to ransom.
Cornwall has had wind farms for about twenty years. No one wants to live near them because of the noise rather than pollution. We are running out of options.
