James Delingpole:
How Dave can still lead the 'greenest government ever' and save his party, the economy and rural Britain ".......When you live in a city – as I did till recently – you simply have no idea how much heartbreak and anxiety and fear the wind farm scam is generating across rural Britain. Country people feel helpless and appalled and betrayed at the way all their valid objections – to noise, to the ecological damage, to the visual blight, to the destruction of the landscape – are simply being overruled by council planning officers. And it's not really the planning officers' fault: a) they're just following directives from the government that the drive for renewable energy must be allowed to override all objections and b) councils are being bankrupted by the cost of having to deal with planning appeals funded by enormous wind companies with bottomless pockets. The whole planning process is rigged in favour of the wind developers. It is also quite hideously corrupt. For example, the environmental impact assessments, noise assessments and ecological assessments are carried out by "experts" paid for by the wind farm companies. Naturally, these experts are inclined to play down any issues that might get in the way of a successful planning application: who pays the piper calls the tune.
The wind industry, in short, is currently the single greatest threat to rural Britain. It's corrupt, greedy, ruthless, cynical, mendacious and hideously unjust. And the reason it's currently getting away with murder is that Coalition policy is allowing it to get away with murder. This has to change and it CAN be changed. So herewith some advice to David Cameron......."

Drove through Canada recently and there are wind turbines everywhere. What an absolute blight on the landscape.
