Like I said earlier, my view is that context is important. But I'm not sure that local property prices ought to really be a consideration in whether to put up a turbine or not, in my view. Presumably the owners of the properties are happy to use electricity, as long as it comes from a power station that's a long way away, out of sight and is only devaluing someone else's property prices!
Indeed. That's why I think the monolith is being used in a very cynical way.

Yes, I think that's entirely likely. There is definitely a fair bit of NIMBY-ism at work in much of the wind-turbine debate (I don't mean the debate on here, I mean in the extra-TMA world).
