Letter: Poor compensation

Published 13 February 2013

From Colin Watters

Letter writer Brian Farrington is mistaken if he thinks free electricity will persuade people to accept a wind farm near their house (2 February, p 28). I know of people unable to sell property at any price because of a nearby wind farm. So the idea of offering a few hundred pounds of free electricity is insulting.
