Would you rather live next to a wind farm or a fracking site?

A question posed earlier today by the 10:10 campaign group:
Together, we’re pushing back against a story told by politicians who insist wind is not popular, despite their own figures telling us that 73% of the public support onshore wind.
Would you rather live next to a wind farm or a fracking site?
If you’re thinking wind farm, two thirds of the British public agree with you. New Blown Away polling has just revealed that 65% of the British public would be happy to live next to a wind farm… and a massive 61% of us don’t want to live near a fracking site.
Yet the government says they’ve banned onshore wind because people don’t want it. And at the same time, they’re forcing fracking on communities who have explicitly rejected it.
Can you help us call the government out?
Would you rather live next to a wind turbine... or a fracking site?
Together, we’re pushing back against a story told by politicians who insist wind is not popular, despite their own figures telling us that 73% of the public support onshore wind.
Let’s share the real story - that we want to see new wind power, not fracking, in our neighbourhoods.

    But if the questionhad been would you rather live next to a windfarm, a fracking site or neither then .....
    Not a valid question to give two unpopular alternatives and then claim the least unpopular is something people want.
    These are the sort of twisted statements we can expect in the Port Royal redevelopment so be warned!
