I totally agree Rhiannon. The energy used to create the wind farms would barely be recouped, plus it would all be at the expense of the destruction of one of our last true wilderness areas and a genuine CO2 sink.
Many of these wind farm developments appear to be little more than a scam, with greedy speculators chasing grants and subsidies. Hopefully local planners are now beginning to see past the hype and the bogus green credentials.
