Learning to like wind turbines

Sir, – In support of Sadhbh O’Neill’s excellent piece “Maybe we need to learn to see wind turbines as beautiful” (Environment, August 27th), I would like to note that those who “are convinced that offshore wind represents the industrialisation of the sea and the loss of pristine nature” should take a look around the countryside of Ireland. Grazing fields, conifer forests and fish farms. We have long ago abandoned the concept of pristine nature.

These turbines do not represent industrialisation; they represent a future where we choose to make room for nature. – Yours, etc,
