I will literally allow them to build a windfarm adjacent to my house if it lowers energy bills in the future.

It would be quite loud, you'd have a noise level of around 78dB constantly if they were running if you were adjacent to them. I certainly wouldn't want one adjacent to my house (also knocks off 10-12% of the value of your house from research by LSE).

its taken out of context. What he said was
Wind energy will be an important part of our strategy, but I want to reassure communities that as prime minister I would scrap plans to relax the ban on onshore wind in England, instead focusing on building more turbines offshore

I agree with that, you would to if youd been downwind of one of the fans spinning fast.

Offshore windfarms are definitely the way to go, you want to keep them away from population areas really.

Why couldn’t it be the Daily Mail?

Amazing

Which according to that link is the same as a 'city street'. As someone who lives in a city that's, uh, kind of a normal level of noise?

[MartyG]

You really wouldn't want one next to your house and more than that - there's zero need to build them next door to housing.

Build them in central London. Energy creation + more affordable housing!

are you thinking of attaching pods to the blades for people to live in

the Guardian is calling it a cruel and unusual form of social housing, Dickensian slouch Jacob Rees-Mogg has defended plans by saying If they would rather die than live in Wind rushy house then they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population"

Plans to turn the London eye into apartments, have also got the go ahead, despite concerns from the HSA it has been concluded that being only able to leave your house at set times of the day would be safer than a lot of other high rise property in the UK, it also has the added benefit of helping ease congestion as it gives Londoner's a staggered start to the day

Went to areas around bike park wales before the lockdown. Some of the other peaks have a clusters of windmills. Most of us felt nauseous down wind of them while they were spinning at a good rate, ears popping air pressure sort of thing.

I wouldn’t worry the planet is done anyway so we won’t have to worry about going green for much longer.

It's Sunak and Truss.

So, Truss will be the next PM.

Oh lordy :/

Still good news for Labour at the next GE.

[MartyG]

Sad but true

The planet will be just fine after the humans causing the problems become extinct. It'll outlive humans in exactly the same way it outlived dinosaurs.

Plus, the creatures that come after us will be able to use the fossil fuels created by human remains in a few million years.
