Empty Handed

Or, I should probably say, wind turbines.

Somebody has gone and put up some wind turbines in the middle of Morecambe Bay when I wasn’t looking. Was it the other week when I was on holiday?

I can’t understand how I could have missed this. Surely environmentalists would have been up in arms and it would have been in the local papers and all that? Maybe they’re not really there, and it’s an an optical illusion or mirage (although strictly speaking that would just mean they weren’t quite where they seemed.)

I first spotted them through a gap between the houses when I was walking up Heysham Road to the pub with Carl the other week. He didn’t know anything about them either, but that doesn’t necessarily make me feel any better…

I’ve done an internet search, and I can’t find anything recent about it. Some old documents (c.2002) about plans (including an artists’/computer’s impression which looks remarkably like the real thing does today) for shoving 30 in the bay somewhere…

OK, maybe I should have looked harder.
