Regarding my blog on the problems of on shore wind, your comment that maybe planning for wind could go to the County level is spot on. We've been advocating exactly that for a while now. I think it makes real sense. Counties are better equipped to deal with the more strategic issues, Districts tend to get swayed too readily by loud NIMBY voices. It's good to hear from somebody in politics that can see the sense in that and is not afraid of the issue. Cheers.
