According to a map I can’t upload, it stretches across Brighton as well as Worthing.
??They can be seen from France on a clear day but nobody is claiming them for the French.
Cables come in from the sea in the Borough of Worthing, therefore they belong to Worthing
The wind farm can be seen from Newhaven, the maintenance department for it is here, therefore they belong to Newhaven

Beat me to it.
The coastline is concave and there are well over a hundred windmills, so it stretches right across the coast.

Yeah right. Visibility at sea is 30 miles on a clear day unless you're at an altitude.

You can do a chuck up tour and visit them if you so desire...

Vote for "pro" here - the more renewable energy the better as far as I am concerned but it would also be great if nuclear fusion could be made viable.

Yep
Lets put this to bed. Its Worthing`s Wonderful Wind farm not anywhere else.When you see it from Worthing seafront the turbines align perfectly too.
Let’s be using its proper name , Rampion wind farm. True Sussex folk will know why.
As for those who don’t like them, will be at the end of their working life in 25 years where they will either be replaced with more turbines or with the latest technology of the day.
The cables also come in through the downs behind Lancing which are being fully restored and will be unnoticeable in around 5 years time.
It’s a great structure and I like them.

I’ve heard that after Brexit they will be turned off and we will be forced to eat our own earwax...
I'm on the pro side.
Reading through the thread, someone that lives in Miami is anti....
Sigh!
Wind farms the green myth. The panacea for clean energy.
Everyone just regurgitates the promotional garbage from the company developing wind farms.
Can power 000s of homes. yes when running at full capacity and all the homes are 2 bedroom with 2 adults and 1 child. Typical output is 1/4 of the rated capacity.
25 year lifetime, yes, endless maintenance, 11 years "green" payback on construction alone.
Germany the largest users / builders of wind farms has been building them for decades, guess how many conventional power stations they have closed, yep none? They have in fact commissioned new coal power stations as they have abandoned clean nuclear power.
If you buy "green" energy you are only paying a company that buys Renewable Energy Certificates (ROC) for power generated when it's least used (overnight).
Who knows what the answer is, I would imagine taking personal responsibility for the waste we all create.

Sorry but the view of what exactly? Grey, dull unending sea like it was before? It’s the English Channel not the Lake District

I think you've just conradicted yourself.
You've just claimed green energy is a myth. Then gone on to say electricity can be produced via wind farms. Plus, the issues you cite with costs of running green energy production are also there in all forms of electricity production. So what's your point? Trying to be edgy and contrary for the sake of it?

No, either working for Exxon/the Koch Brothers/Robert Mercer/some other nefarious body, or lacking the entrepreneurial ability to recognise that he should be. Who knows which one is worse?
