“Speak to the accountants at Croda and ask them how much of a waste of money the wind turbine has been. The return on investment is 3 times quicker then expected and they want to build another one.

Wind power isn't the answer to the UK's future energy needs but it's part of the solution.”

“Good point Charles - it's really all about property values again isn't it? (everything is really - all other augments are smokescreens). Isn't the windmill on the Croda site on Clough Road, not the old Seatons oil mill. Talking of oil mills Hull had loads of seed crushing and vegetable oil processing companies at one time, (I remember Barker's) where's all that gone? Europe again??”

“Simon, Anlaby
Yup that's about it. The rich bods of Westwood Road don't want to see their expensive horizon peppered with windmills. That might lower their property values; Oh yes.
Now it's bad enough they can see that damn thing on Seaton's site without the threat of more damn giants they have to charge against. Old Rosicante won't go anymore and Sancho Panza is on disability living allowance.”

“Totally agree Spiked. Leave Roos alone, no more building in the countryside and these daft wind "farms" (what a ponsy middle class pointless expression that is) are a blot on the landscape.
There is only one real solution - nuclear power.
However another option would be to cut the population over say 50 years - less people = less power + less pollution + more space to breathe, park and live, but that's too much like common sense and against the leftie green lobby and other nutters who have gained power over the last 30 odd years so hey ho back we go to the stone age...”

“Graham Stuart is right. This winter has proved what a complete waste of money wind farms are. They are totally unreliable as you cannot rely on the UK weather. Let's build some coal fired power stations before it is too late. We have listened to the Lefty Green Lobby too long and look where it has got this country.”
