Two quotes I recently have come across concerning energy and the wider landscape.
“Interesting how despoiling the landscape to frack appears to be politically acceptable but wind farms are not, while the former is highly polluting big business owned and the latter is clean and potentially community owned.”
“Interesting point. I am unconvinced about the efficacy of wind farms, (energy produced vs energy used in production, assembly, maintenance and dismantling). I have a small scale hydro-scheme which I am pursuing on the River Gowy. This little river at one time used to power 18 mills and now almost all this energy is wasted.”
