Letter to The Flintshire Chronicle - Why don't the thieves do us all a favour?

As criminal gangs are regularly stealing everything from power cables to metal railings in order to cash in on increasing scrap metal prices, why don't they go for something that would benefit almost everyone?

I refer of course to on and off-shore wind turbines. Those of us who live along the North Wales coast would rejoice if we looked out one morning and they had all gone, returning one of the world's most spectacular seascapes to the way nature intended.

The other bonus is that we tax payers and electricity users would no longer have to keep subsidising these inefficient white elephants.

And politicians would be happy as it would get them out of the green hole they have found themselves in.
