Um. Sorry - didn't mean to cause offence (& that I wasn't around)!!! I wasn't trying to 'strawman' you! (New idea to me!) That was why I phrased it as a question - tho clumsily it seems!!!

I was just interested in what you think the alternative is.

I fully agree that the landscape is worth preserving - I don't think many of us here'd disagree!!!! It's just that until someone comes up with something better, I think windfarms are OK given the situation we're in. (Which, for me, also applies to Littlestone's comments on the harm to the environment in putting them up.) They also needn't leave much of a scar if they're taken down - tho I notice in this country we seem to have more 'gubbins' around the bottom of them than they do in Denmark, where all you seemed to be able to see was the turbine & its upright.

Like 4W & a couple of others have said, I don't find them all that unsightly - in fact in a way I like them.

Not trying to get you back into the debate (unless you want to!) - just explaining that I wasn't (deliberately) being wicked!

love

Moth
