Are we going to see locally generated renewable energy benefiting the local community? Err... no. Here's what Professor Alan Dodson, from the University of Nottingham, had to say about the scheme at a recent public meeting. Presumably he was aiming to get local residents on side:

"The great thing about this is that the electricity doesn't just get fed into the national grid, where it sort of gets lost in all the other electricity. All the power generated will go directly to the university campus via an underground cable."

So, let's get this straight; we get the turbines, and you get the power. Fantastic.
Do you agree with Professor Dodson that this is indeed a "great" idea? Why not contact us and let us know.
