what do you suggest replacing them with ? coal plants cause acid rain unless you mine and transport limestone and are a noticeable blot on the landscape and coal mines are a dirty dark and dangerous place to work and open cast mines are a huge scar.
or we can have nuclear powerplants which are a massive intrusion create much pollution through all the steel and concrete that is required to build them and have nuclear waste which is deadly to man for thousands of years which has to be disposed and monitored securely. also remember fukushima three mile island and of course chernobyl. they also cost billions to decommission.
or we could cover the countryside with fracking rigs which have been shown to cause minor earthquakes and possibly contaminate the water supply with the dangherous chemicals used to push the gas out.
or we can use gas and oil which are mainly sourced from the middle east and russia amongst other areas and we dont know how reliable these sources are or how long the supply will last or be available. you also need pipelines, tankers and refineries and resulting pollution such as the exxon valden torrie canyon and the rig in the us gulf. and of course the north sea is full of rigs so i dont see the difference between that and a wind farm which harnesses free and non polluting energy.

The argument for wind farm follies was lost yonks ago when the real figures became known, something a seasoned cynic like myself has been banging on about for just about as long as these ruddy awful eyesores were first installed on the landscape.

It's simply an obsticle to addressing the important issues which continually get kicked down the road.
Nobody will take tough decisions because they dont win votes and being in power is everything

Just withdraw the subsidies for building them AND refuse to pay a penny more than the current cost of generating electricity by conventional methods...
problem solved, because no one will erect a wind turbine other
than some farmer living in an area which has no normal supply.
Same principle should apply to solar power...install your panels for your personal use...no resale of surplus to energy companies at silly prices. Then no 'profit' will accrue. It is so simple
