I shall leave turbines for tonight, we are having blizzards here at the moment, icy winds from the arctic. Luckily we got across the moors yesterday, I suspect the road will be closed tomorrow. Have spent most of the day putting together a chest of drawers, hopefully the last 6 screws will find their rightful home tomorrow, then another day of mirror hanging and another bedside table to put together......thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-46577275338173004382013-03-11T02:51:00.955+00:002013-03-11T02:51:00.955+00:00When we drove east three years ago this month to d...When we drove east three years ago this month to discover our little Kentucky farm we saw, parked at a truck stop, one of these giant turbines dismantled and being hauled on a trailer. In some parts of the west one sees whole ranks of them, 'arms' flailing, in the distance. <br />I suspect at the end of the day our protests about 'green' or natural and historic preservation fall on deaf ears. Cynical thought it may seem, I believe that money rules and sadly, few of those with the controling money have very sensitive scruples.<br />By the way, I do read and enjoy your posts more often than I comment--I get bogged down in the verification process.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-54488730858520078452013-03-10T14:14:29.863+00:002013-03-10T14:14:29.863+00:00I agree with BB entirely.

It's all very worrying when people are trading their carbon allowances and the whiff of tokenism is everywhere!Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-79080959615355098702013-03-09T12:36:03.261+00:002013-03-09T12:36:03.261+00:00I would support wind turbines if they worked and i...I would support wind turbines if they worked and if they did away with power stations, but that is not the case. They have been shown to be hopelessly inefficient but still politicians insist on more - and in areas of natural or historical beauty and importance. The destruction of habitats has to be seen to be believed.<br /><br />So my green credentials become tarnished too . . . Tbh, I think the politicians and the BBC have investments and pensions tied up with 'global warming/climate change' which would explain their rhetoric.. .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
