WE have been following the story of the Den Brook Valley Wind Farm story on BBC2 with considerable interest.

We know of no one who thinks wind farms are fit for purpose. They are visually polluting and inefficient and and I fail to understand the Government's obsession in this regard. This country only produces a small percentage of global emmissions, therefore whatever we do will have a minimal effect. Chris Hulme's Bill announced recently will just have the effect of increasing everyone's energy costs and make our industry less competitive. I agree that we need to develop alternative energy measures but wind farms are not the answer.
