Another day in Swaffham

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

As the application for Benington Wind Farm grinds on, it’s just another day in pioneering town of Swaffham and the residents are going about their business. A million miles from the hysterical world of the anti-wind ‘action’ groups, this is the reality of wind power, quietly providing clean energy for thousands of homes.

Here the gentle swish of the blades competes with traffic roar from the nearby A47, occasional interruptions from the US air force and birds that are very much alive…

No fuel.
No CO2 emssions.
No toxic waste.
No geo-political risk.
No imports.
No fuel cost.
No price risk.

Can you really say NO to that ?
