Turbines fluttering and dancing in the breeze

SIR – Trina Golland (Letters, January 22) suggests a group of wind turbines could be called a generation. I have always called it a ballet.

The turbines’ elegant tapered blades resemble legs in white tights.

Julia Evans

Beganne, Morbihan, France SIR – The collective term for turbines should be an eyesore.

John Anderson

Nelson, New Zealand SIR – Given their proliferation across the countryside, might they be described as a rash?

Mike Bridgman

Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

SIR – A folly?

Gordon Crook

Bottesford, Nottinghamshire SIR – A subsidy. Without that noun, they would not exist.

Simon Ragsdale

Swinford, Leicestershire

SIR – A mendacity?

Stephen von Bertele

Acomb, North Yorkshire SIR – A generation of wind turbines would only work if they did significant generating. I suggest a squander would be more appropriate.

Bob Broughton

Laleston, Glamorgan

SIR – A bitter blow?

Ken Grimrod-Smythe

Ingbirchworth, South Yorkshire

SIR – An abomination.
