Local councils are signed up to the Nottingham declaration (to reduce our carbon footprint), including Harborough District.

Those notable academic luminaries within the Swinford wind farm opposition (SSWFAG) would be better equipped to advise their leadership to use the ‘scientific method’ of evidence – not trawl the internet for pseudo-science that fits their purpose.

We at proWA have always maintained turbines are part of the answer, but more efficiency on heating could save half the energy generated, and other energy systems such as combined heat and power could make up the difference.
