See there's something interesting in this and every time an article like this comes up it always makes me think about this.
There is a wind farm going to be constructed near where I live, they send out a bunch of letters telling everybody that we were going to build the wind farm and then that was it. There's been no public consultation if you had an objection you could email them but I'm not sure what that would do. Perhaps they would hold a consultation if anybody had objected, but nobody has.
This is the way to do it, public consultations are ridiculous, they just allow NIMBY idiots the opportunity to mess things up for everyone else. If it's got the proper permits, and the proper environmental investigations have already been conducted, why is it any business of the locals, it's not like it's going to cause more traffic.
