Hello Moss , I think what Fitz was possibly suggesting and I certainly was , was that wind farms are not going to solve anything and are merely a sop for enviromentalists and the best tha could be said for them is that they will provide a minimal amount of additional employment and produce quite a lot of capital for the developers .



Hello Tiompan, I'm not being controversial just tend to think out loud ;) wind farms may be part of the answer though, and to reply to Jane's question, there is the individual choice of photovoltaics (expensive at the moment) and microgeneration - also expensive.
Callanish Stones against a background of 5 turbines? there are the 'wastelands' of Dartmoor and Exmoor to consider not to mention the Cornish coast....
