All wind and... Marxist hatred

“Wind turbines are of purely symbolic significance, since they cannot produce power at the crucial times, will always depend on other and more immediate sources and are there largely in order to destroy the landscape... 




... and to show to the middle classes that the future lies, as Lenin said, in ‘electrification and the soviets’. They are a blow struck against the love of home by people who hate it.”
Roger Scruton quoted by Bryan Appleyard in the Sunday Times (£).
