I HAVE a very simple question for Tristan Mackie of Cornwall Light and Power which is proposing to build a windfarm at High Sharpley near Seaton, Seaham (Echo, April 7).

It requires an equally simple yes' or no' answer.

If your company's proposed windfarm had to be a viable, stand alone, self-financing operation competing in an open market to sell its electricity, would it still have been considered?
