I really dont know about these turbines to be honest, i've heard good things about them and i've also heard bad things.

On a similar  thing.

A Good friend of mine who lives in the middle of nowhere in scotland was approached regarding mobile phone masts and while originally he was horrified about the idea, he eventually agreed to it and gets paid a handsome sum per year which helps a hell of a lot towards his business, so while some people hate these with a passion, it obviously helps certain people to survive.

They want to put them about an mile off the west coast over here also, they already stretch the hills of Washington State along the Columbia River...the solution to it all are things people dont' like, they are...controlled population, going back to many of the old ways, where people got up at sunrise and went to rest at sunset, they are not so much advertising also, street lights, nightime activites such as sports games, some of it can be helped with solar energy also. I think there's an need to diversify everything we do that needs energy to operate on also. It will be an problem for the future generations, we are just now getting into realizing the situation for many of us. 

I found this article interesting.

Especially this. Worth looking in to for those of you living in the UK and able to help out.

If the UK could do one big thing to slash its carbon emissions, it would be to transform the power generation sector from one that is wasteful and heavily dependent on traditional fossil fuels to one that is highly efficient and relies on the UK's abundant renewable resources of wind, sun and surf.

The UK Government appears to be leaning the opposite way. It is considering energy company proposals to build or upgrade around eight coal-fired power plants around the UK.
