Please look at the site and object.

I think wind farms are good. You wouldn't believe the amount of tourist
traffic our local one behind Elgin gets - and it's a 4 mile walk! I
suppose you'll also veto nuclear power in favour of our grandchildren
sweltering to death if they don't drown first?

I have nothing against your objections but as I understand it
virtually the whole of the Scottish landscape is in fact man made
having being originally covered in forest until man appeared and
destroyed it.
My only post on this as 'tis nowt to do with fishing....

Ahem. I have no objections to windfarms and your point is very valid. I
_do_ believe that just outside Aberystwyth wind farms have had a major
effect on fishing as the earth movements in siting the things has
released lots of noxious chemicals from days gone by into the rivers.

Relative lives at Cefn Clwyd above Capel Dewi. Apparently the farm on
the hill opposite has had an effect on the Rheidol system. They said
that this was from the local angling club but I'm afraid I don't know
any more. Sorry.

The Rheidol area is well known for lead mining in the past.
