Cornwall
Yes, the whole county! Pretty much anywhere you drive in Cornwall, you're likely to see a wind farm. There are seven in all - Bear's Down, Carland Cross, Cold Northcott, Delabole, Four Burrows, Goonhilly Downs and St Breock. What's more, they're all en route to somewhere equally stunning - be it Tintagel, the Earth Centre or the Eden Project.

Then just think how
18 windfarms will impact on a county with hardly a hill!!!
VM....you are deliberately being obdurate.
Caithness has an area of 1,776Km², Sutherland has 6,077Km².........Cornwall has an area of 3,547 km².
So I'm sure Sutherland would happily accommodate maybe a dozen windfarms, and Caithness two or three................given that the Highlands of Scotland already produces environmentally friendly hydro electricity.
But what is proposed to date is
18 windfarms for Caithness and
32 for Sutherland.
And that is what I mean by overkill and taking advantage.
Why should an area in the North, one third of the size of one in the South, have three times as many windfarms to allow the South access to environmentally friendly electricity which will trash OUR environment helped by the giant pylons across the hills!
Caithness has working or being constructed seven windfarms right now.the same number as Cornwall.............can you explain to me why we should have any more than that?
