Sorry, I'm not totally against it, a wind turbine in the garden would be a Good
Thing IMO. I am against the large wind farms that are springing up all over the
UK and a) blighting the landscape and b) producing heavily-subsidised electric
that doesn't have particularly "green" credentials. B&Q are apparently selling
"windmills" for power generation. Once economies of scale are bought into play
the price should drop.
Have you noticed the proliferation of solar celled traffic equipment, and so on?
That seems like a small step in the right direction, too.
