Stop stand alone wind turbines taking over our countryside, and review the FIT

Closed 383 signatures

What the petition asks

Stand alone wind turbines are getting taller (75 - 125 metres tall ) being built close to small picturesque villages. They are far too tall, harm the local wildlife, over bearing and make people feel uneasy (akin to a bully standing over your shoulder). The Feed In Tariff is far too generous.
There is a wind turbine in the hands of local planning at the moment and this one is going to be built in the middle of a lovely landscape. None of the electricity produced will be used by the person/s as they live miles and miles away instead they will just be getting lots of money from the FIT estimated roughly at £220000 per year all paid for by tax payers
