oh here we go again the buzzing sound from over 800m away... Dont work in high wind but then say they are too loud when wind is high... The only argument that you come up with are b@llocks.. Monstrosities... hope they plonk a nuclear plant next to your house... then do a comparison...

At least with a nuclear power station it works 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Wind turbines need to be out at sea, not on land. Plus lets not forget the pollution that is caused by mining for rare earth metals for the generators. It seems to be forgotten about as it happens in another country!

What just like electric cars?? Yes nuclear is more productive you are correct... so tell you want scatter the countryside with them?? Or is that overkill? Wind farms are better on the eye then nuclear plants... and is the most fitting construction to the country side.. I really don’t mind the look of them... People say eye sore i say go to ferrybridge and then appreciate them a tad more...The fact is that in the sticks there can provide villages with at least a top up saving on a lot of other infrastructure required... And yes sea is more windy.... but its hardly still on the moors now is it??

People are forgetting how many turbines are required to replace a power station. Its around 10000 turbines for an average coal/nuclear plant. 10000 turbines would be far more un-slightly than a nuclear power plant especially if all the turbines are grouped together!

The idea is not to replace them though. The idea is to power smaller areas with them using the coal as back up. We as a country can not just use one source of power.... It has to be a combination of "greener" and cheaper power to eventually filter out the coal plants.

For Yorkshire though i'd like to see more farms in the right locations... Anything to get the monopoly off our countries greedy suppliers..... And to be fair i'd rather see 1m of these then drax/ferrybridge etc..... It automatically makes a place look like a dump... Also are they reliable? i.e look at recent land slips causing a mass shortage of power.. Wouldn’t it be good to have a back up generator as it where?

Even the teletubbies where that forward thinking as to use these...."
