Just 90 companies are to blame for most climate change

Yeah, I'd much rather have this sight instead of the turbines:

Yea they'd be pissed off about that too.

Not really an alternative...

Some people wouldn't be happy with any solution, they just want to complain.

[losCHUNK]

Which is what everyone's doing.

Point I was making is I showed a reality where as you posted something that has been outsourced in Britain since the 60s. For wind power to be a reality a good proportion of the British green belt will have to go and should we dismiss those who have concerns over their impact on the environment ? (such as wild life). If it were a big business it would be scrutinised to fuck.

[Transient]

Wind farms are a big business, and they are scrutinized to all hell. Their impact on wildlife and the environment (even at scale) is practically nonexistent. Wind farms work best out at sea anyway, so I don't see the issue with just sticking a ton of them offshore.

[losCHUNK]

Offshore farms are only viable in certain areas and are not as cost efficient as land based farms

They're obviously damaging the environment n all if they're displacing wild life, that's the point of these green belts, to preserve the habitat. If it were anything else, such as a Walmart, Car park or road planning permission would likely be rejected in a lot of examples due to the rules when building outside urban areas. Companies have problems gaining permission (proposals) for anything over a certain height in urban areas - they usually have to buy the council off with a free park or someshit - but somehow these wind farm projects tend to over rule the opinion of the local community if they disagree.

Anyway g2g, bye everybody

he should hunt them down like he did in death wish

interesting read, also the other links in the thread

[seremtan]

that's the point of these green belts, to preserve the habitat.

yes - the habitat (and property prices) of upper middle class professionals who want to live in villages but also want an easy commute

[losCHUNK]

Yes, let your cynical side take hold >: D

In fairness you cant expect everyone thinks like that. On the wole these places - like Brecon / Merthyr have some of the lowest house prices in the UK thanks to a lack of shit (and possibly inbreading)

[Captain]

inbreading

[Transient]

WTF

[losCHUNK]

Well, fuck.
