Following todays opinion writing about whether or not a wind farm should be in Hawea Flat, we had Jan an expert come to share her opinion about wind farms. She was against a wind farm in our area.
Some of her reasons were...
It wouldn't be very pleasing on the eye. It would ruin our beautiful views.
Small insects and animals would loose their habitats.
It would cost a lot of money. Around 3 million dollars per wind turbine.
We would have to build roads and have heavy machines coming and going.
There would be millions of tonnes of soil taken out of the ground.
There would be scaring of the land.
We found that people had different opionions about things and no one was right or wrong. We know that we need to respect others opinions.
