I would worry most about the damage to the sea's eco system. The necessity for alternative power sources is proven, but not ones that cause a different set of problems.

And what damage would it cause there is hardly any tide flow!!!As it is...

Wind farms would be better for the Eco of the sea giving platforms for sea life to form like they do around England.

Prestatyn were I fish among the wind turbines has a abundance of fish and eco life. Before they were built it was just dead ground and fishless. Now you will see dozens of boats fishing there...

The sea needs structures for life to form around them on...

Just heard that the original proposal for wind turbines along the length of the summit of Pantokrator from Kassiopi to Troumpetta has been rushed through parliament at the very end of 2010 and approved . There are various circulars doing the rounds from a local environmental group suggesting that we organize immediate opposition. I'll try to find out more and post as soon as I do.

Seen them in Crete & Kefalonia on the mountains... don't think they spoil the view at all.

Me neither. I think the usual design of the individual turbine is simple and elegant and that several of them together can be rather magnificent. I'd choose a wind farm any day over all those ugly pylons & aerials or whatever they are that desecrate the summit of Pantokrator.
There is a wind farm near Kefalos on Kos. We didn't know it existed before our first holiday there but it certainly did not stop us returning for further holidays.

I agree, I saw a wind farm on my way to Edinburgh and found it quite mesmerising, peaceful and quite beautiful in a strange way! I must point out that I was on a train at the time and not driving!!! ha! ha!

Quote: surely the main point is that we gave up using windmills 150 years ago because they were not efficient. If we follow the windfarm argument to its natural conclusion we will all be back on ox carts and cooking over open fires outside our caves and being totally eco friendly.

I think electricity was one of the reasons for stopping the original windmills! It's called progress. If we don't move forward then obviously we will never get anything done.

I agree with several posts on here that the turbines should be looked at favourably if they are providing energy from a renewable source, at least until we're all using nuclear power. I also think they are very elegant structures.

As for noise pollution, we have enough noise from the disco in Albania. If the turbines drown that out, it will be a bonus!

I have actually stood under a working turbine and the noise was negligible. The wind here where we live is much louder when it roars through the olives as it frequently does.

Trisa.
