Dear Sirs,
I think that it is disgraceful what is happening to the beautiful Welsh
countryside not to mention in
Scotland
, some areas of
England
and it would appear all around the world. I cannot understand why this
devastation is
allowed.
I live in South West Scotland and can view these monstrosities they call
'Wind Farms' from just a mile away from my home. It doesn't matter where
you travel from here. You cannot miss seeing them and there are more and
more being built all the time.
When will this lunacy end? They don't seem to understand the real damage
they are doing. The public are being deliberately misled. They think that
'Wind Farms' are good things because they are being presented as 'Green'.
I run a small bed and breakfast in Dover,
South East Kent and have welcomed 1,000s of continental visitors over
the years, many of whom have returned regularly on their way to and from
our most scenic landscapes in Wales, the West Country and Scotland.
I have noticed a marked down-turn from some of these regulars who tell
me that their previously favoured destinations have been spoilt by
wind-farms so they are now holidaying in Scandinavia or the Alps
instead. It isn't just local tourism that is affected by the turbines,
but the whole country which can suffer.
