A question about : MoneySaving Poll: Are wind farms an aye-aye or an eyesore?

Poll started 22 Apr 2014

The Conservative Party says it won't subsidise any new wind farms if they win the next election. They argue the UK is on track to meet its wind power targets, but critics argue this policy is to appease those who think the tall white turbines blight our landscape. So we wanted to test your views.
