DANGER OF THE WIND FARMS
IN response to several of your correspondents (Letters, January 30), I do not approve of wind farms. I am very much aware of the danger to bats, insects and birds, as well as the threat to peat from the concrete bases. Apparently bats explode when they fly near wind turbines. I have been aware of the danger since the erection of the first turbines, as I keep up to date with information from conservation organisations. RSPB does not approve of wind turbines, and I trust its judgment.
There are other dangers from wind farms to do with a humming noise coming from the turning of the blades. This makes life unbearable for residents living near turbines. Houses built near wind turbines are, according to some reports, unsellable.
Maybe technology can find an answer which does not involve causing more damage. But the answer definitely does not involve doing nothing because you think other countries are not doing enough.
