;;Posted By: joe90I have just discovered that an application for a wind turbine of 30m to hub and 15m radius blade has been lodged with the local planers and its only 550metres away and smack in line with my proposed bedroom window (which will be downwind to the prevailing SW winds) to capture the setting sun over virgin countryside!!!! I know turbines are green (in some peoples mind) but I am worried about the impact and any information would be gratefuly recieved. I have read some stories about people unable to live close to turbines but science cannot confirm why.;
Posted By: jamesingramhow about the Visual intrusion of Office blocks, Flats, power stations, chimneys, schools, hospitals . mars bar factories ?How about widened roads, hard pavement/kerbs, replacing rural roads with grass verges, wild hedges replaced by fences, trees gone, permanent orange glare from street lights, so whole populations never see the stars, or silky darkness, afraid of it - these have destroyed humane environments universally, without consent from or protest by anyone, let alone Mail/Express readers. Not to mention the traffic growth on said roads, so whole populations never hear silence, fill it with muzak. Such things are regarded as inevitable, unstoppable - if not actively approved of as beneficial 'progress' (i.e. cars for the whole household - luvvly!). Beside all that, stately turbines are a pleasure! So it's only a small shift that would classify turbines similarly as beneficial 'progress'.

Posted By: fostertomEROEI - Energy Return on Energy Invested - heading rapidly downward, worldwide
Posted By: jms452Except for renewables where it is gradually increasingThat's prob true and gd news, but it needs to be, starting from a low baseline, so that still, as renewables replace fossil (or rather, dilute them in the mix), they drastically lower worldwide EROEI ('old' fossil still gives highish EROEI, tho much less than historically).
