In my view wind turbines should not be installed onshore at all.

They are a heavy pollutant of the sound and visual landscape. In addition to the turbulence noted here the noise they generate is highly irritating and unfortunately the proponents often choose locations that are otherwise particularly peaceful and/or beautiful - to which people are attracted for these reasons, most certainly NOT to listen to whump whump whump all bloody day

I understand that the UK have ceased subsidies for these things, and that there is a general thought they should now be located offshore (thus keeping them away from any land-based airfields!). If they must be used then this is the place for them, or directly in the middle of those cities for whom they supposedly provide a benefit...

FP.
