We’re asking people across Cardiff how they’d feel if a new wind farm was built close to their house, and if cheaper energy bills would make it worth it.

00:00You should be able to at least ask the people if it's okay, maybe have like a vote because I feel like it's unfair that if you are just doing it without people's permission and they are in like a quiet residential area then it's a bit unfair on the people living there.
00:11Why not I guess? In the fields where there's nothing there, why not?
00:15And supporting like more clean energy is always a good thing I think. I mean there is a few like downfalls of like aesthetic and like you don't want to be seen like when you're sat in your nice area do you know what I mean?
00:29But I think overall it is a thing to encourage compared to other uses.
00:34Yeah definitely, why not? It's really expensive to build but that would come out of our tax money probably.
00:42A lot of times I used to drive through Germany, I lived in Poland and I used to drive through Germany and you'd see so many wind turbines around the motorways or like high traffic areas like that where they're out of the way of the people but there's still a lot of them and there's still reducing power.
00:57So I think it would be a good thing to get more of them.
