Naked Chef Wants Naked Energy
by Erin Courtenay - Madison, WI on 09. 8.06
Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver will add another feather to Cornwall's eco-haven cap when he installs two new wind turbines on the roof of his restaurant. According to the Guardian:
"He has applied to put two turbines on the roof of Fifteen in Watergate Bay, near Newquay, Cornwall. By harnessing the wind, Oliver hopes to halve the power consumption in his restaurant.
Each turbine measures 1.8m in diameter and would be painted the same colour as the roof, said restaurant director Will Ashworth. "The visual impact will be very low and the environmental impact very high. The only place you will be able to see them from is the beach."

Good for him. But why is everyone so worried about the visual impact of wind turbines? I think they look pretty cool, especially a whole field of them.
There's linkage right now between the cooking world and the renewable energy world... a big conference coming up in Turin late October associating organic agriculture with clean energy sources... It's great to see popular chefs joining the green dance... there's a green restaurant association... everything is connected, the food we eat, who cooks it, where the energy comes from to cook it, how it tastes in the end is "better"... more love...

Mostly I am worried about how our planet will look without them.
But you're right, public opinion polls consistently find that most people think wind farms and wind turbines look fine.
Also, if you look around the Web it is pretty easy to find photos of wind turbines, for some reason.
For a thoughtful perspective on this issue, see
