There are so many turbines beside the M1 particularly on the section that passes through Northamptonshire. CPRE claim that Northamptonshire is the 'Wind Farm Capital of England' a title I can understand.

Day 10 - January 10th
Spring term starts at the university on Monday so today we took Christopher back to his flat. When we drive along the M1 to Nottingham I always wonder at the number of wind turbines that we pass.

Apparently being in central England the county has one of the poorest wind resources in Britain but the area is such a hot-spot for developers because it has no National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), green belts or airport exclusion zones, which would get in the way of turbines.
