Wind turbines for Pride Park?

Those of you who've seen today's Derby Evening Telegraph will know all about the proposals to install upto 10 wind turbines - 400ft high - at Pride Park Business Park, at an estimated cost of £1.7m each!

Click here to go to the full story, where there are also some interesting reader comments about the plans for the turbines (which, apparently, would be "an iconic symbol of how Derby is a forward-thinking city... hmmm....).
"Nobody can claim Pride Park is beautiful... I'm in support of well-sited wind turbines."
"I'm all for it - excellent idea!"
"... a much better place to put them than the Peak District..."
"I know Pride Park's not exactly an area of architectural or historical significance, but that's no reason to put wind turbines all over it..."
WHAT DO YOU THINK??
Good idea? Or do you think that they should be "stuck out of the way on the moors of the Peak District"? Or are they a daft idea altogether??
