I READ the report regarding the appeal over the Darrington wind farm project.
When will people realise that we must be looking for alternative methods to heat and light our homes? As they wave their banners, do they not realise that eventually coal and oil will be no more?
Have they tried to imagine the impact a lack of ene
rgy would make on their lives? Not just within their homes, but in their everyday lives.
They accuse wind farms of being "eyesores" and seem only too contented to look out of their windows and gaze at the "beauty" of the power stations and their cooling towers.
How can they accuse something, which utilises a naturally occurring source of renewable energy, which is freely and readily available as an eyesore?
They should try to live for a month without any electricity for their homes or fuel for their cars. Try shopping without the car to carry their load safely back to their fridge freezers.
It could become a new reality show.
Their complaints seem reminiscent of those of the ecological protesters, who attack the power stations on a yearly basis. This year, it's the Camp for Climate Coal Caravan Tour, where protesters threaten to gain entry to power stations in at attempt to cease electricity production.
Wind farm protestors are the first to kick, scream and complain when the power does go off. Yet they protest against a form of energy production, which not only would assist the planet, but also improve the quality of air they breath.
