Davidstow – no more windfarms
While few people disagree that Cornwall should work towards alternative forms of energy supply, the positioning of the planned wind farm at Davidstow is a pretty dreadful choice of location. Bodmin Moor is one of Cornwall’s special places and needs to be looked after for future generations as much as energy supplies do.

Hi,
I notice that you list several businesses who are against the Davidstow Turbines.
Please add my business to this list. By the way I am the Treasurer of Stop Turbines in North Cornwall.

And here is a link to the position of The Camel Valley And Bodmin Moor Protection Society against the crazy bird and bat killing and landscape, skyline and horizon polluting megalomania of that misleadingly self-styled ‘Community’ Windpower Ltd company based in Cheshire:

you should compare before and after shots of quarrys too.
surely windfarms are better than a coal fired power station.
Old school generation yet again making poor decisions for the future.

You appear to have no idea of how special that place is. Maybe you should get some knowledge and understanding before you spout in ignorance. Take a look at all those objecting to that particular proposal to intrude on that particular place in that particular way – quite diverse and interesting don’t you think?
