Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has called for ‘Soviet-style’ subsidies for building wind farms to be scrapped because he says the huge turbines blight rural lives.
The recently appointed minister said wind developers should ‘stand on their own two feet’ instead of asking for money from the state.
He said green technologies such as wind farms might actually have a worse impact than climate change, because they are causing ‘public insurrection’.
