I can't help think that such petitions are largely ignored. I seem to recall signing an anti windfarm petition in the past couple of years and I think the response was the usual bland comment that we've come to expect from Downing Street. In my experience the best way to campaign against large windfarms is to lobby your local MSP or MP. Tell them you won't vote for them if they support such developments and remind them of the Labour MP's and MSP's who lost their seats on the Western Isles because of their support of the Lewis windfarm proposals.

I would do it myself, but I wondered with your media contacts and profile, there would be much more publicity for it if you started it. Even the Telegraph is negative: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100003510/wind-farms-the-death-of-britain/ Do you fancy starting a petition on the No 10 website against the massive expansion of wind farms.
