Say No to Spanish-owned ScottishPower’s proposed development of Carland Cross This development would not happen in Spain, where the Government has withdrawn its subsidies; or in Scotland, where there must be 2km between turbines and dwellings and not a mere 600m as proposed for Carland Cross. WIND ENERGY IS: Expensive Government indirectly subsidises wind energy using our money. This means ScottishPower could get over £306,000 per 2.0MW turbine each year just for putting them there! That’s more than you get on the lottery with 5 numbers plus the bonus ball! Inefficient The current turbines on average are 27-28% efficient although ScottishPower claims the new ones will be 32-33%! That still makes them at least 67% inefficient for over £3 million of our money every year! Unreliable Wind does not blow to order. This means wind energy is unreliable and risks disruption so has to be backed-up by other supplies. AND DON’T FORGET: Visually Cornwall is becoming the Wind Farm for England Noise and ground vibration – studies show serious health implications Shadow flicker - areas up to 800m from each turbine would be affected Property values - The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors has found that property values close to a wind farm fall by 20%
