* The photo's giant wind farm at Little Cheyne Court in the Romney Marshes, covering about 1,000 acres of coastal land near Rye with 26 377-foot-high wind turbines, was opposed by each and every elected local authority, including 2 county councils, 2 district councils, 12 parish councils and the local MP, and by Campaign to Protect Rural England, Kent and English Nature and the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). The farm was opposed because its imposing presence visually spoils the landscape and for being close to an internationally important RSPB reserve, since wind turbines are known to kill birds. The UK government issued new rules to permit long-standing planning laws to be overriden to force through the construction of this and many other wind farms against the democratic wishes of local people.Very revealing paragraph.
Radical environmentalism kills birds, destroys the landscape, and scorns the voices of the populace.
By any moral system, this is evil.
That's a great explanation of why energy costs in GB are obscenely high. The explanation in the U.S. is obviously much clearer...

"Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket," Obama told the Chronicle .

They will pass that money on to consumers."
