I MUST reply to Mr Weight’s recent letter (‘I’d like to see the turbines’).

May I suggest he puts up a turbine in his back garden, so he can admire what he calls an attractive structure and watch the blades turning from his living room or bedroom window and make loads of money producing electricity.

I don’t think so. Personally, a concrete tower with a blade on it is anything but attractive.

Fact – turbines are expensive to build. They produce very little electricity even when working at full capacity. Also they have a short life-span and are expensive to maintain.
