Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 April 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Wind Turbines.


Wind Turbines

I was interested to hear what my hon. Friend had to say about Enertrag. It is trying to do something similar in my constituency, and when I criticised it at a public meeting for failing to turn up, it threatened to sue me for representing the views of local residents. Does not my hon. Friend agree that one of the most offensive aspects of this, apart from the arrogance of saying , ““We are going ahead””, is not simply that local residents have to fund their campaigns but that, through taxes and subsidies, they are funding the potential despoliation of their landscape?
