SIR – Bradford District paid out £689 million pounds for its energy in 2011. This will rise to a billion pounds very soon. We need to generate our own power and keep our money in our own pockets. Bradford’s only major resource for doing this is wind.
Increasing numbers of us are seeing Wind turbines as beautiful. We can have our own community-supported turbines sited where we want them and producing profits for us. Some local firms are interested in supporting such ventures. Wind turbines need to be built near, but outside, our built up areas.
If we do not put up our own turbines, we will have to pay ever increasing prices for imported electricity.
