I could have blogged about so much this evening. Obviously, there's the Swine Flu 'Pandemic' which is no doubt scaring the socks off you by now. Alternatively I could've gone for something totally banal, like the fact that I left my glasses at home and spent the day working through a eye-strain and the resulting headache. However, just as I was about to blog, something was reported on the evening news that caught my attention.
It seems that there is a wind farm in Cumbria, which is only a few years old, that is under threat... by a nuclear power station. Residents are, of course, up in arms at the proposals. The replacement buildings would take up a much greater footprint and would tower above the height of the existing turbines. I can hardly blame them for their concerns - even ignoring the nuclear element, I would much rather stare at a flock of whirring windmills than a concrete box.
However, what amused me is the fact that all over the country people are campaigning against these things. Now it seems the community in Cumbria will have to campaign to keep their wind farm!

There's a perverse logic in this that is more than a little amusing!
