    As wiser heads have noted elsewhere on the web: there are ZERO wind farms in the Corby constituency! In political terms all you will end up doing is splitting the right wing vote. Pointless egotism.

    No, but if I bought a fleet of old bangers with intermittent failures, I would usually have several to choose from when I wanted a drive. One turbine = unreliable. Hundreds across different parts of the country = rather reliable, always some turning.

    There are no auguments for wind farms as far as i can tell. They do not reduce humanities carbon footprint (I doubt it would be a problem if they did.). They do not produce any worthwhile power. They have many detrimental effects.THEY COST A VAST AMMOUNT OF MONEY (Money that goes out of the country.)
