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.


The man owns a bit of land on the top of a local hill - but was turned
down for permission to erect a windmill up there.
It's all greenwash anyway - noting to do with saving the planet -
everything to do with pr & subsidies.
