Re: windfarms - good or bad?

This is such an emotive subject that this was raised in another forum many months ago and now the replies are in the thousands with arguments and fall outs on both sides.

Me personally I am disgusted at some of the sites they are proposing but realise that some form of renewable energy has to be found. I just don't believe that this particular route is the right one. I've yet to be convinced.

In Spain, around Tarifa and running Northwards there are literally hundreds and hundreds of these Turbines and they have acheived two things that they are famous for. Horrendously changing the landscape and habitat and at the same time they have cut down many migrating raptors as they have been sited right on the migration route from Africa.
