... it is a bit NIMBY isn't it?

We are in favour of windfarms, just not "close to our shores"!

Ironically, I'm not in favour of Windfarms 'cos I think they're inneffective but I really don't mind one in Christchurch Bay where I think it will do no harm and might even look quite good.

Done.

I don't want these industrial structures less than 10nm offshore as here so I have signed the petition.

10nm offshore generally makes them much more expensive to build and maintain

Why build something that doesn't work?

They certainly get my signature, wind farms are a total scam as well as a navigational obstacle and blot on the seascape !

Quite right: the electricity is twice the price of conventional power generation and because they are inherently unreliable they don't replace other generation capacity.

So please sign the petition!
