Not a good thing


According to my yogi friends, you get about 20 per cent of your engergy from food, 50 per cent from air and 30 per cent from nature.

I have always been slightly hostile to wind turbines. I couldn't put my finger on why. I think it is because they are an eyesore. They interfere with the beauty of nature.

My best friend died of cancer a few years ago. During her final months she told me that she got the most pleasure from going on walks around her home. I realise now that she must have derived some source of energy from the beauty around her.

Rather than build massive wind farms, shouldn't we focus on using less energy and leave nature alone. She is, after all, one of our major sources of energy.
