mole catcher 1 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Here in east Anglia we have a history of windmills, there spread all over our countys of Norfolk and suffolk. In my eyes they are a thing of real beauty. Just look at this one here on my door step and when you think that we are trying to find a real allterative to fossel fuels and nuclear power i often wonder why so many object to the modern version below both old and new seem to find a place in this modern world, neither being the blot on our landscape that some seem to suggest. I was just wondering what other members views are on our modern windmills? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smallford 0 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 beats me why they dont have more of them, i guess its the bleeding hearts of this world, they arent happy either way, give them the option of nuclear power and they jump up and down, give them the option of clean wind trubine enerrgy and there jumping up and down about the blight on the landscape, they'd probably moan about point zero energy (creating energy from nothing or simplified fission reaction) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mole trapper 1,693 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 MC you should pop down here some time, Cornwall is full of them, there arent many hills that have not got them on, the NEW natives are really pissed about it, they did not sell theyre homes up country and price us locals out just to look at these monstrocaties, and by the way stop those cockerels and church bells waking them up. Sorry mate, could not help myself, been to our local on the moor and the incomers kept buying us drinks to make us be friendly to them so i am feeling a little fractious. Plaid Cymru........, what ever happened to them, Plaid Kernow next ????????. Sorry mate not trying to hijack your post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
