Low Carbon: Wind farms help save the planet
Letter to the Chester Chronicle Editor from Miranda Harle:
I AM FOURTEEN and was infuriated when I read the article 'Legal experts hired to beat wind farm'. I think it is ridiculous that people are campaigning to not try and save our planet! I agree that the turbines could perhaps impose on the surrounding scenery but to be honest I would rather look at the turbines and know that as a county we were trying to reduce our fossil fuel comsumption.
The amount of money being spent to try and deter the construction of this windfarm is obscene! That money could be put to a much btter use, for instance it could aid those who would have to give their farmland up.
My generation and the next are the ones who are going to suffer from the impacts of climate change, impacts that we could be lessening now. The turbines may be 'destroying natural heritage' but if there weren't people trying to reduce fossil fuel use then there wont be much of a planet left to have natural heritage anyway.
There are equally as many good points as there are bad points to this scheme and I would be disgusted with myself if I knew I was campaigning against the wind turbines.
Cheshire is always going to be a beautiful place and with the wind turbines it will also become one which people will be proud of, knowing that they are trying to make a difference.
