| If it is shown to generate renewable energy it is meaningful and helpful in trying to mitigate climate change. Perhaps the IBAC councillors who doubt the energy produced should be offer the chance to be connected up to it on a windy day. The presence of the turbines would also raise awareness of green energy. Tesco also have other green initiatives and installed the worlds largest solar roof with 2MW of solar PV http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/jan/19/energy.supermarkets The cry of greenwash is all to quickly levelled at companies people have unrelated grievances with. A planning application should be considered on its own merit and this shows IBAC do not appear to consider the environment just there own egos. If only we could use their hot air for space heating of Council buildings. I agree there should be more bike parking at Tesco's but most people do a weekly shop and have families which would make it very difficult for everyone to travel by bike. |
