Clean Energy - Yes,      Giant Wind Turbines - No!

The Two Moors Campaign supports realistic renewable energy and a sustainable rural environment.

The Two Moors Campaign is against the industrialisation of Rural   Devon and supports the conservation of our historic landscape.

We strongly support realistic renewable energy and energy conservation.  We are however strongly opposed to proposals which will have a severe detrimental impact on our environment and which will not address our 21st Century energy needs  Never could so much be lost for so little.

We support genuine local, small scale, sensitively sited renewables. These do not require major cable connections to the grid and are designed to meet the needs of an individual property or community for example small-scale wind turbines, solar power, PVs, stream turbines, combined heat, wood pellets  and geothermal.

We support energy conservation for example insulation and replacing ordinary incandescent bulbs with energy saving bulbs which can make a huge difference. We support marine turbines and wave power which give a predictable and reliable output such as those under consideration off the North Devon coast and of Cornwall

These are realistic options  suitable for our rural corner of Devon. Further more some of these technologies are offered by businesses in the south west and their utilisation will support  Devon's economy.

There is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting our claims and there are about a hundred campaign groups opposing giant wind turbine developments in this country alone.

Other organisations opposing, or gravely concerned about the impacts of, giant wind turbines include National Wind Power, the Renewable Energy Foundation, Country Guardian, the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England, the National Trust, the Country Landowners Association, the Ramblers Association along with individuals such as Sir Bernard Ingham, Professor James Lovelock, Noel Edmonds and David Bellamy.

The government is currently reviewing its energy policy because it realises that our future needs will not be met by wind.  Successive planning inspectors in North Devon have opposed these structures in such a valuable landscape.  We hope you will do the same.
