He spoke to people living near six wind farms and found the majority "strongly supported them".

Your readers should be aware that Dr Warren's study was conducted in July and August 2003, but only published in November 2005. His team visited four farms in Ireland, and two in the Scottish Borders; one at Dun Law and the other at Black Hill. There are no turbines on Black Hill, as the farm has yet to be built. Of the four sites in Ireland, only one had more than 20; the other three had six, seven and nine. These Irish farms bear little or no comparison to the huge industrial scale facilities planned for much of Scotland.

His study has little relevance to the debate on wind farms, and it is unhelpful for him to offer up what appears to be disingenuous research.
