Poll: What's your take on wind turbines?
  I hate them, completey eye sore destroying the countryside
  They should be at sea only
  I hug trees, renewable energy is good
  If one was at the bottom of my garden I wouldn't care, they are not an eye sore

don't trees rely on CO2 to live, and actually replace it with oxygen?

I always stare at the one on the M25, just as you head off the M1 towards Heathrow way

What does it take to build these things? Like cost, energy used, materials used etc...

You know Deano, they're planning on building some between Potton and Biggleswade. I say good, as we've had alot of power cuts and power surges since lightening hit St Neots Power Station. It's getting real stupid, how long does it take to fix. It happened 3 years ago. So go green, less likely to go wrong.

There's a balance to be struck imo i think they look kinda futuristic but if it started over populating countryside you'd be sick of the sight of the things. I'm all for the renewable energy premise though!

Daft, they lock them if the winds get too high

But I suppose it's better than this:
