I’ve been merrily reading your archive all morning, and feeling very happy about it, too. Then I read this post and now I’m not so happy anymore.

while taking my bottles and cans down to the recyling station i realised the futility of my actions, the damage is already done and irreversable. Further joy came over me in the afternoon when i read in the local paper about a group of villagers up-in-arms about a ecologically sound wind turbine farm being sited within distant view, therefore spoiling the vista from their upstairs bedrooms. Good grief - you couldn’t make it up!

I feel ya, dude. When I looked into getting one of those giant turbines for my ranchette in the Hill Country, I was told that the neighbors would fight me tooth and nail, since the view of the unspoiled rolling Texas countryside is what makes their property valuable. They’re all living in some loony fake retro-Texas cattle-rancher fantasy world, of course. We’ll see how they feel when gas costs 30 bucks a gallon (I don’t know how many Euros that is, but it’s a lot) and they can only afford to heat their precious country houses two days a year.
