Wind Farms

Well, that's the end of wind farms, I suppose.

David Cameron has said he'll get rid of them if he returns to power. And I imagine the other party leaders will shortly have the same idea (and claim they had it first). It's a cheap policy and there are votes in it.

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand I think wind turbines are beautiful. On the other you can have too much of a good thing.

But I predict that eventually- once most of them have been swept away- there'll be a change of heart and people will start talking about how much they add to the landscape and campaigns will spring up to " save our turbines" and the few survivors will be lovingly restored and emoted over as symbols of millennial Britain.

Exactly! Birds have evolved to dodge hawks, not to mention tree branches swaying in the wind. A lazily turning blade on a wind-turbine isn't going to cause them much trouble.
