Dear Sir,
It was most interesting to see renowned independent scientist, and deep thinker, James Lovelock pictured in the letters page of Saturday’s P&J, 23rd July.
He was quick to realise that windfarms do not address the problems of global warming, stating – “Windfarms won’t cut it at all”.
When asked to open the windfarm at Delabole, he said afterwards –
“At that time nobody was talking about a gigantic programme, getting 15 or 20 per cent of the country’s energy from wind turbines. It was a kind of nice green gesture. I think, now that I know as much as I do, I wouldn’t have touched it with a bargepole.”
As a lifelong environmentalist he was also a strong supporter of “pragmatic” nations, such as France, Finland, Sweden, Japan and China, who are embracing nuclear power as the most viable and safe source of energy for the future.
Before any more of our finest landscapes, and pristine seascapes are destroyed. Let’s hope our deluded politicians see the sense, and the science!
Yours,
George Herraghty Lothlorien
