Nah, definitely not - the thing is totally solid and completely over-
engineered, just as big things like that should be.

Whoosh!

I don't get why Mitzer T brought up Great Heck. Why now?


Lightbulb... ding!

In some parts of the country they put up wind turbines which are useful but
ugly, in other parts of the country they put up giant horses which are
pretty but useless.

I really like wind turbines! I think they're beautful!

The farm off the coast of Rhyl is particularly nice.

Can't they cover the horse in slots and put wind turbines inside it? If
the people of Ebbsfleet ended up with something which is both pretty and
useful, it would give them a reason to be proud of it rather than
slightly embarrassed about it.

Global warming flood refuge?

A radioactive offshore waste dump topped by a favela, surrounded by
blue algae and a sewage slick would look nice compared to Rhyl. Along
with New Brighton it's one of the most run down and depression coastal
locations I've ever seen.

Farty useless highly subsidised wind turbine fact:

The building of the wind farm did bugger all for the local economy
either in the short term or the long term.

The farmer would get a pat on the head.

Yeah, Rhyl's not so great. But when you're looking at the wind farm, you
can't see Rhyl, because you're standing on the waterfront in Rhyl, looking
out to sea. So it doesn't really come into it.
