Milton Keynes Wind Farm, supported by MK Green Party, was approved last night by Milton Keynes Council Development Control Committee. The two and a half hour planning committee meeting was extremely contentious, ending in a 6-5 vote in favour. All three Conservatives on the committee voted against, as did two of the five Lib Dems. The application generated many hundreds of letters to the Council, the majority of them supporting the wind farm.
There were very active local campaigns both for (BREES) and against (BLEW) the wind farm, which is now expected to be on stream supplying enough electricity for 10% of the homes in MK by 2009. The wind farm is being developed by Your Energy, who operate Burton Wold Wind Farm near Kettering, currently the UK's largest on shore wind farm.

Should we spend 25 - 75 billion pounds on a new system of nuclear weapons of mass destruction for the UK? Or should we set an example for nuclear disarmament. I know what Mr Blair thinks about this (yay, more, bigger, better, nuclear weapons!) ... tell him what you think:
