Bloody things! My house is hidden behind the trees but is just to the right of the large torpe coloured house in the middle of the picture .
The noise you can hear is the wind not the turbines, So far they have been inaudible at my home which is a great relief.
There are 7 of these 355 foot turbines about 700-1000 metres away from my home ruining what was until a few months ago an attractive open rural area. Now it is an industrial site .
Here's the area immediately adjacent to the wind farm

.Imo wind turbines are massively subsidized white elephants that despoil otherwise attractive landscapes. They produce no power whatsoever on the coldest wind free days in winter and require backing up by fossil fuels/nuclear power stations.No storage facilities are being built to store the excess power they generate on windy days when believe it or not the national grid pays them not to produce power!
They cost each household in the Uk about £100 per annum on their fuel bills and this is set to double in a few years.
Currently wind farms produce a tiny proportion of the power the UK needs at enormous expense and are a blight on the landscape
There are far better,cheaper and more reliable ways of reducing CO2 outputs and I am in favour of using these alternative methods

How unsettling is to walk in the car on a lonely street cover about gold and black fields as in a desert where these wind turbines work and work. Spectral, worrying and magnific in the same time…

"First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe.... Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it! It only serves to turn a few mills, blow a few vessels across the ocean, and a few trivial ends besides. What a poor compliment do we pay to our indefatigable and energetic servant!"
Henry Thoreau

caution rant!!!
With energy prices climbing I really could care less if I see 20,000 of these wind towers everywhere. It's free power. If I have to listen to one more person cry about how ugly these towers are and in the same breath whine about how much gas is for their suv my head may possibly explode. I think they are beautiful but maybe thats just me.

Hallett Hill wind farm, looking north. Were these hills cleared of trees by early settlers, or are they naturally clear. In any case, the grassy slopes look good.
