We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher
saying something like:

Hahahahaha. Rumbled.
"It is likely that the value of our houses will plummet and become
difficult to sell"

With all the other reasons, some valid, some spurious, there is the rub.

OK. And who can blame him? Come on, Grimly old chap!

I have a sneaking suspicion that (as TNP often claims) "wind power" is
grossly over-rated -- just a gut feeling, based largely on the the fact
that a lot of fairly unsavoury people/corporations are getting rich on
our taxes. The whole idea is not so much power-full, as it's
green-looking.

OTOH, I know several people who say "Well actually I quite like the look
of them... better than those horrible pylons..."

Which about sums up how informed the general public are, about this
"debate". It's not a debate: it's like a lot of other things these days:
it's a raucous argument between two entrenched parties, one of which
has deeply vested interests (namely: cash), and both of whom employ
lobbyists. Lobbyists don't debate: they shout at each other, while at
the same time seizing the ear of those in power. Unfortunately, money
talks these days louder than it ever did; and who has the money? "a lot
of fairly unsavoury people/corporations"


Also unfortunately I, you, and many of the rest of us here in this
group, will be dead by the time people start referring snortingly to the
fact that "that old wind power scam turned out to be a lot of hot air".
No doubt by then the *same* corporations will be being paid taxpayers'
money to demolish these horrendously expensive monstrosities.

No, but I've gone out of my way to admire them, and camped near them on
purpose in France.

They are out to sea at 3 miles range.

In the middle of restful pleasant countryside 500 yards from your
bedroom window, they are a crime.

Which shows what thick tw**ts they are. How do youo suupose they get
the power from where the wind blows to where it's needed? There will
be a lot more pylons...

Exactly. Wit a peak to mean ratio of 3.5:1 you need treble the size of
grid for exactly the same amount of overall grid capacity.

... "wind power" is ... just a gut feeling ....

pun intended?

Exactly right. They never worried about digging up the South Wales
valleys or South Yorkshire for coal. I hope they get them in their
back gardens.

Krauts too, coming over here to knobble off with our UK subsidies.

'They' which 'they'?

The suburbanites like you who never have a harvester go past their
bedroom at 2 a.m, or will ever have a motorway thrown across their
local heath,, or a coal mine dug in their land or a windmill put up to
ruin their view and make sure they never sleep without medication again?

They are YOU.

Towns are parasites on the countryside, always were and always will be,
and never more so than in a consumer sopciety..

The country folk soon complain when townies stop buying their produce and
stop being "parasites".
Why don't you go back to subsistence living if that's the way you feel.
With no money you won't have power or internet so that will be an end to
your drivel.

Not in your precious towns.

Guess where al the roads that transport your goods are located.

Not in your precious towns.

Guess what land the cables and radio links over which the internet runs
are located.
