How appropriate that Save Upstate New York, who want to prevent wind turbine development there, should have a photo of some sort of monster SUV / pickup style vehicle on their homepage. Sure, turbines everywhere might be a cause for anguish, but the alternatives are surely worse? Interesting, too, that the homepage should have as the first highlighted concern Property Values. And there is nothing on the front page about other suggestions for power generation. "Anything but this" seems the order of the day.
OK, I live in London, what do I know and why should I have anything to say about it? All true to a point. But when the US is by far the biggest consumer of energy per capita worldwide, and when the jury is still out on global warming (I mean, there was a report the other day suggesting that plants contribute to global warming on a huge scale - wtf?), surely the country and her individuals have a duty to be thinking about these things?
