Is there no limit that this moron will go to wreck this country?

Giant wind turbines taller than London’s Gherkin building are to be built across Britain’s countryside after Ed Miliband rejected calls to impose a height limit.
The Energy Secretary’s decision means turbines as high as 850ft can be built on hills and fields – far taller than the London skyscraper, which stands at 591ft.
Mr Miliband has lifted the previous government’s ban on all onshore wind in the English countryside, announcing plans to give himself the final decision-making power on applicationsin an attempt to hit net zero targets.
A spokesman for the Energy Department also made clear last week that there will be no height restrictions imposed on new turbines, opening the way for massive models being developed by Chinese and other manufacturersto be erected around the UK.
He said: “There are no national limits on turbine height in the UK.”
The spokesman added that “landscape and visual impacts must be measured and taken into account”.
It comes after the first approvals were granted for next-generation models in Scotland, where – along with Wales – the Tory ban on building never applied.
OnPath, formerly known as Banks Renewables, was granted permission for 10 machines up to 823ft tall at New Cumnock in East Ayrshire, despite opposition from locals and the campaign group Scotland Against Spin (SAS) which has called for height limits.

I wonder if anyone has asked these thinkers what the rehab plan is when these things need to be replaced etc in 15 to 20 years.
