National Trust comes out against 'public menace' of wind farms

4 million members strong (more members than the political parties combined), the UK's National Trust is increasingly opposing industrial wind projects, while maintaining it's goals on emissions reductions.

National Trust comes out against 'public menace' of wind farms - Telegraph:

The official position is to support renewable energy, including wind, although only in places where the turbine will produce the maximum amount of energy and “with regard to the full range of environmental considerations”.
The landowner already has 140 renewable energy projects installed on castles and farmland around the country, including a few small individual turbines.
The Trust’s climate change target to cut energy use by 50 per cent by 2020 will go beyond national targets and could save more than 14,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of taking 4,500 cars off the road.
