Windturbines and electricity pylons at night on Romney Marsh, Kent, UK.


Nighttime silhouette of wind turbines and pylons delivering electricity as part of the national grid supplying Britain's power. Both are controversial and are often seen as a blight on the landscape. Pylons are often associated with old fossil fuel technologies whereas wind turbines are seen as part of a more environmental approach to electricity generation. In fact, pylons are still needed to deliver the power that the turbines generate to the houses and businesses of the UK.
