Beats me why the factory owners couldn't find a better site and still
get the credit for it. Who says it has to be on their own plot? Just
them, I'd suppose.


Maybe it's to do with renting the ground that the turbines occupy.
I wonder if the other energy suppliers pay rent/council tax for teh
area their plant
covers or is the land owned by the energy companies.
