Re: Wind turbines

Leaving aside the emotive locations debate, I personally would plump for incinerators to generate energy by burning all of our rubbish as we are nearly out of landfill space. The rubbish from the London Borough of Hounslow is buried in Oxfordshire - think about all the extra energy that takes just to bury it. With the filters they use on incinerators today the manufacturers say that an industrial incinerator would produce in one hour the same amount of pollution as a packet of cigarettes. Don't know how accurate that is but if true it would surely be a viable option.

Cheers,

Adam
