Mabinogogiblog: Wind Turbine Controversy?

I think this is quite a fair assessment of the arguments around wind turbines, by a Green councillor somewhere near Stroud.

    He doesn't mention anything about how damn ugly the things are. And I can bet that he doesn't live in sight of one.

    His last two items on his list of alternative energy are stretching it a bit. To which I can add:

    27. Things you haven't told me yet.
    28. Things someone hasn't told you to tell me yet
    29. No knowns
    30. No unknowns
    31. No knowns that I don't know of yet
    32. No . . . well, you get the drift.

    Eigon, Thanks! For pointing your esteemed readers in my direction. I was a Green Councillor, 1986-92, but more from Congresbury than Stroud. You may be thinking of the excellent John Marjoram, who was elected like me in 1986 (But I was 20 minutes before John, something he has never forgiven me for). Unlike me, he continued to plough the furrow of the Green Councillor.

    Cheers

    Sorry, Richard - I vaguely had the idea that you were still involved in local politics.
    And - Steam Driven Ostrich - would you prefer wind turbines that looked like traditional windmills, or like giant sunflowers, as I've also seen? Personally, I rather like them, and prefer them to cooling towers and, indeed, electricity pylons.
