Quotes

Turbines are getting so big and overpowering as to be outrageous in any rural context. Their impacts on the landscapes and lives of people is totally disproportionate to the minuscule contribution they make in providing renewable energy and the pitiful savings they offer in CO2 reductions.

Peter Ogden, Council for the Preservation of Rural Wales

The number of British homes producing their own clean energy could multiply to one million – about one in every three - within 12 years.

The House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the economics of renewable energy. For reference, here are the submissions from four of the UK campaign groups.

Submission from the Campaign for Responsible Energy Development In Tynedale, faced with a "seemingly uncontrolled, unco-ordinated free for all by energy companies seeking to build multiple large scale windfarms..."

Submission from the Two Moors Campaign, Tiverton, "threatened by 4 separate planning applications for the erection of a total of 24 industrial wind turbine structures, along the southern fringes of Exmoor National Park."

Submission from Jane and Julian Davis, the farming couple from the Lincolnshire Fens, that have been forced to vacate their property after 8 turbines were erected close to their property.

Maureen & Peter Caswell

Submission from Maureen & Peter Caswell fighting planning in the Vale of Belvoir. An opening quote from the document quickly gets to the heart of the issue.

"At long last we have hope that there will be a reality check on what is going on under the renewable energy banner, how a seemingly noble cause is being hijacked by murky goings on and ordinary people are being sacrificed to “get rich quick” scams. I am of course referring to the attempt to cover as much of the countryside as possible in “wind farms”, before people realise how these adversely affect local communities."
