Scout Moor 2 Wind Farm, sold as an expansion of renewable energy the country needs, but decimates peatland and ecosystems. I’m for renewables, but not at the cost of removing natural carbon sinks, regardless of the small impact it has. It’s natural and does it for free. Don’t fuck with that.

Scout Moor is a beautiful spot, its surrounding areas are great for outdoor activities and there’s plenty of moorland wildlife. It’s already given up some its land for an existing wind farm. The planned farm requires much larger turbines which requires much larger foundations.
