We, the undersigned, object strongly to the proliferation of wind farm and wind turbine projects in the Taw Valley area of Mid Devon – which includes the parishes of Bondleigh, Brushford, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Coldridge, Eggesford, Lapford, Nymet Rowland and Zeal Monachorum and hamlets. We are very concerned about the cumulative impact of wind turbines built and in planning and bounded by the wind farms of Batsworthy Cross, Den Brook and Fullabrook. We are all aware of the unsustainable nature of wind turbines in that they only duplicate other means of power generation which have to remain available, in a most inefficient way, to meet demand when the wind drops and the turbines stop turning. Wind turbines do little or nothing to reduce carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gas" emissions.
