When we think about how we might act on any given day, when we think about what our routines look like and how we interact with people, the very first place we think about is home. That very cliché saying that home is where the heart is is a cliché for a reason. A house is just another building but a home is where you make yourself comfortable.

Your home is the one place in the world that is truly and completely yours. It is the one place where you can be completely yourself and live in your pyjamas if that is what you want to do. It is also of course the place you start and raise a family.

Your home is vitally important to how you see and orientate yourself in the world, and so just like anything else that is important to you, you want to protect your home and your family.

Wind farms are the UK’s most promising source of renewable energy. Our weather and geography make them a successful choice for energy production, and there are now around 300 wind farms in and around the UK. Some people oppose the farms, claiming that the noise is damaging to local wildlife and the construction has a negative impact on the landscape.

However peer-reviewed research shows that the impact on the surrounding area is minimal, and innovations and technological developments are constantly improving the process. For example firms have looked for ways to reduce the weight of the turbines, as this reduces production costs and the costs and impact of transporting the materials to the farm site. Lightweight carbon fibre is a great example of this. Now, the energy used in producing the materials and transporting them is cancelled out by the energy produced by the wind farm in its first few months.

However any process which involves building and manufacturing has a wider economic value. In an age in which our manufacturing sector is a fraction of what it once was, there are now several companies who manufacture wind turbines, creating jobs. This value extends to those involved in logistics, and the actual construction. Turbines have specific construction needs due to their height, such as cranes, hoists and lifting slings , and companies who provide these can benefit from the building of wind farms. (more...)
