This is Somerset

I AGREE with Ian Liddell-Grainger about the proposed siting of wind turbines at Withy Farm.

It is stupid and short-sighted. If we have Hinkley B and the proposed Hinkley C power station then what need for turbines?

Hinkley supplies the area with all the power it needs.

Wind turbines should not litter the countryside, but should be sighted off-shore, perhaps in the Bristol Channel, and their electricity distributed where it is needed.

A good example (and pleasing to the eye) is the turbines in the Mersey, off Liverpool, and the extra-large turbines at Avonmouth.

Industrial architecture should be sited in industrial settings and not take up precious countryside.

Name and address supplied.
