Although wind farms are not a total solution to the problem of fullfilling our energy needs* I do really believe they play a still significant part in it.
The studies that show they use up more energy during production than they produce being de-bunked now and I have even seen figures of them paying back the energy of manufacture within three to five months which is fairly going some.
Sorry to say that even if I weren't too late to sign that petition I wouldn't.
*People being more responsible about how they actually use the energy playing a major role in helping matters.
As a nation we also seem to use electricity to make up for shockingly bad building design with bad window positioning and insufficiant insulation and so on.
We don't make use of slabs of concrete insulated on the underside to provide a buffer for rapid temperature change anything like often enough either.
There are loads of designs out there to help us use our energy much better but architects are either oblivious to them or ignore them.
