It looks like they are putting up a new wind turbine at Great Orton near the Watchtree Nature Reserve. The bottom picture was taken through the reserve's telescope. It takes energy to build any power station. You just hope that it generates more energy when it is working than is used making it. Although actually that's a problematic statement because it implies that turbines make energy. They don't. They harvest the wind's kinetic energy and transform it into useful electrical energy. I've heard people say that more carbon dioxide is released making the concrete base than is saved by using wind power but I've never seen any hard data to support this claim.
