Really Big Dutch Windmills
Posted Fri, 2009-11-06 14:57
I have just spent 5 days in the Netherlands. I drove past these 4 enormous things (looked like 150 to 200m high to the tip of the blades) 4 times. Mostly it was raining and on one day we were part of the largest sum of traffic jams ever. 500 plus km! The Netherlands has 15 million people in a country the size of Devon and Somerset most of whom live and work in Devon aka Randstaad! They are on the motoroway between Gouda and Den Haag. I have a real nimby view about them. What about you?
