Public support for wind power is blow for Tory protest...

More than three in four people favour wind turbines - even if they are near their own homes, according to a survey published in this week's Lincolnshire Free Press.

The survey seems to show that Conservative local councils who turn down planning applications for windfarms on principle are out of touch with local opinion.

Personally, I always suspected that the Conservative Party's objections to wind turbines - as voiced by John Hayes, our right-wing MP for South Holland and Deepings - were hot air...
