Wind farms do more harm than good

AS a dedicated campaigner against wind farms, I was amazed to see a wind farm developer, Brian Britton, trying to promote his product by focusing on offshore wind turbines only (Letters, September 18).

Land-based wind turbines are not even mentioned. The fact is that wind power is ineffective or, at best, 20%-25% effective with four or five turbines needed to do what one turbine should do.

And that’s before we even consider the adverse effects of land-based industrial turbines on our health and quality of life, on our environment, on property prices and indeed on tourism.
