Celebs take sides on Wind
With Noel Edmonds having joined the anti-wind lobby, the British Wind Energy Association has recruited Chris Tarrant, compere of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? quiz show, to the pro-wind campaign.
Tarrant commented: “Wind turbines are modern-day guardian angels, a stunning addition to our rural landscape and a must if we are to move toward a future powered by green energy”.
Other high-profile supporters of the campaign include the architect Lord Foster, designer of the rebuilt Berlin Reichstag and the London “gherkin” office block; Historian Simon Schama; David Marks and Julia Barfield, designers of the London Eye; Guy Berryman, bass guitarist of Coldplay; the Bishop of Liverpool; the interior designer Kevin McCloud and
stylist Wayne Hemingway, who designed the best selling Bug Radio. Also backing the ‘Embrace the Wind’ campaign are Anita Roddick from the Body Shop, Polly Toynbee from the Guardian and Ken Livingstone from the GLA.
See: www.embracewind.com/ for details of the campaign and an excellent series of rubuffs to common anti-wind myths. You can sign up as a supporter via the web site, and supporters of the campaign will have their names added to lists on four new wind turbines current being installed around the country. You won’t be alone. Marcus Rand, BWEA chief executive, said NOP surveys undertaken in the summer last year found that 74% of those asked felt that wind farms were necessary to meet energy needs. Only 12% opposed their development.
* In addition to Noel Edmonds, notable anti’s include Bernard Ingham, David Bellamy, the Bishop of Hereford, Neil Kinnock, Cliff Richard and James Lovelock.
· Wind power is set to generate more than 38,000 jobs in the North East over the next 15 years as the region capitalises on the growing offshore wind industry, according to ESD.
