Placing England’s “largest windfarm” on a critically protected Site of Special Scientific Interest would be one of the most mindnumbingly stupid things the Government could do. West Yorkshire has tonnes of wind farms already. Other counties need to step up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Calderdale Council 'will play key role' in new wind farm plan
