To the people who think #wind #turbines and #solar #farms spoil the #natural #landscape; it's worth remembering that some of that landscape (the patchwork of rolling green fields, for example) is itself the visible outcome of #technological advance and they're anything but natural. What about the charming old watermills and windmills that are so symbolic of Olde #England and the #Netherlands? The vineyards of #France and #Italy, the olive groves of the #Mediterranean, or the magnificent hills and glens of #Scotland, that were once the ancient #Caledonian forests, subsequently cleared for sheep and cattle grazing. These too symbolise earlier technological advance. Canals, railways, castles, churches, lighthouses and hedgerows are the same. Once upon a time these too may have been considered a blight on the landscape and yet nowadays they are often viewed as part of our cultural heritage, to be preserved and managed for posterity. A sense of perspective is surely required? Take a closer look at the #rural landscape you think is being spoiled.

Study show zero bird collisions wind #wind #turbines .

"The new study shows that migratory birds avoid wind turbines. This confirms that the environmentally friendly expansion of offshore wind energy works in harmony with these birds and not against them,"

#Drax told a story about going to invent and install #capture of the CO2 from their chimneys, which previous governments accepted to allow them to continue burning #woodPellets.

Now they've given up that story - during the crisis of gas and oil fuel, a handy forcing time.

Nevertheless, time to stop them.
And probably time to build a tall dense clump of wind #turbines close to there, feeding #electricity into the #Grid connection, and making a point.
