Wind Turbines

My hon. Friend speaks of communities being divided. He will probably be aware that the community is bitterly divided over proposals in Marshland St. James. Tragically, one of the proposers, a farmer, committed suicide; another farmer's diesel tank was slashed; and one of the main opponents, a local borough councillor, suffered an arson attack on some of his outbuildings. The community is completely divided. Does my hon. Friend agree that small onshore clusters are hugely uneconomical and that, whenever possible, they should be placed offshore where they can achieve critical mass?
