Poll: Are wind farms a blot on the landscape?

A huge offshore wind project which will produce enough electricity to power 800,000 homes has been given the green light by the Government.

Published Dec 11, 2014

The Hornsea Project One scheme will be made up of three wind farms, totalling between 150 and 332 wind turbines, in an area off the Yorkshire coast.

Ministers said the project will support up to 2,500 local jobs and bring millions of pounds into the UK economy.
