Huge New Offshore Wind Farm

The world’s second largest offshore wind farm will be off the coast of North Wales It will combine with three other windfarms and is anticipated to provide enough clean, green electricity to power the equivalent of 680,000 homes.  250 turbines eight miles off the coast.  Ed Miliband, Energy and Climate Change Secretary. Said that the UK is leading the world in offshore wind farming.
The distance offshore certainly minimises visual impact although my feeling is that the turbines are very elegant structures and much better looking than belching chimneys!
