NE from the A68 between Tow Law and Helme Park Lane Ends.
From horizon to horizon they stand Turbine after infernal turbine
Collective madness of the modern brand
Disfigurement by obstuse design.
Not so daft: Someone’s making a killing -
At whose expense? The tax-payers of course.
It’s our cash as usual that’s filling
Their pockets, as no doubt the facts endorse.
Astronomically high the cost
And it's we who foot the bill, a scandal.
And that’s not all we’ve lost.
To this environmental vandal.
Whichever hill you care to gaze from
Its the same in style and execution
A kind of frenetic, madhouse maelstrom
Of limitless visual pollution.
Such monstrosities you can be assured
Make not one bit of economic sense;
However much brain-washing you’ve endured
They are white elephants of huge expense.
Tony Kelly, Crook
