Oh dear. They already have turbines, why object to repowering? Of course, now is the time that community buy-outs should be talked of, repowering is throught to be far cheaper too

Double decker buses are an established measurement at this stage in the UK!

But do you measure heights with them stacked on top of each other or end on end?

Wait, your double deckers aren't all perfect cubes? How strange

In the states we call this "hotdog or hamburger" because our non-metric prowess is fucking evolved.

Fred Olsen is a giant private equity firm with massive investments in oil and gas. This is just a money making scheme for them, nothing more. Sounds like the right choice by the council.

Community owned and community run power generation is the way forward!
