Artists (and me) against windfarms

Commenting on this reaction from Bishop Hill to a not-all-that-biased-by-their-standards BBC show about windfarms, regular BH commenter Philip Bratby says:

Only an idiot would consider building offshore wind farms (unless there is some other idiot prepared to give you huge sums of money to do it).

Bratby then mentions a website about a campaign called "Slay The Array". Slay The Array seems to be an alliance between those who oppose these giant propellers on aesthetic grounds, and those who oppose them on economic grounds, and they have set their particular sites on a vast clutch of propellers (the "Atlantic Array") which some gang of well-connected thieves and/or lunatics intend to build in the spot where the Severn Estuary turns into the Bristol Channel.

Personally I quite like the look of these giant propellers. But then, I like pylons, and skyscrapers, even scaffolding. As for wildlife, some of it will suffer if they build all these propellers, but other life forms will benefit, just as with every other human impact upon the environment.

However, I am entirely persuaded that, economically, these erections are ridiculous, in fact utterly fraudulent. So, for me, the biggest objection to them by far is this one:

The dash for wind energy is massively subsidised, making wind power three times more expensive than other power, paid for by increasing  all our fuel bills, pushing millions into fuel poverty.

If Artists Against Windfarms (who get a mention at the Slay The Array website where it says "our friends") oppose these stupid, larcenous but to me rather handsome propellers on artistic grounds, that's fine by me.
