Piers at windfarm hearing

Piers Guy struggles to keep the frustration from showing at the local council meeting called to decide the fate of his windfarm application, as featured in the film. He says "UK-wide surveys point to about 70 to 80% in favour of wind farms as a concept. The difficulty is when you’ve got one on your own doorstep. Then it’s the ‘not in my backyard’ syndrome."
