Green Democracy
As we all know, the government are going to go ahead and spend billions of pounds of our money on wind farms. Due to the unpopularity of onshore wind farms in particular, they have decided to further stifle the democratic process by reforming the planning system to take power away from local authorities and people. It will give more planning power to central government so that they can bulldoze ahead and install onshore wind farms at the expense, and against the wishes, of local people.
Many people that live close to them complain that wind farms are noisy and ugly. They generate very little power (none when it's not windy enough). They are also unlikely to be economically viable which is why your energy bills are going to increase by hundreds of pounds a year, on top of the ever increasing 'green taxes'.
Here is the more detailed Telegraph report.
