Renewably energy sources

What is the big deal with wind turbines and people?
Its the same with all renewable sources of energy everytime a new wind turbine is proposed for somewhere in britain locals allways have some problems with it i see no problem with a few turbines which will benefit the planet in the long run as it stands britain is costing more and more to keep your house running on electricity if wind turbines were built in the widier regions of the UK such as hilltops and out at sea, as it would not do any harm to anything as long as they were properly fenced off from the public.
I have heard many locals complain that it would comprimise the natural beauty of the land however i look at the towns that they come from and they do not recycle which means that their waste along with everbody elses who doesnt recycle goes to a landfill and destroys places in the country, surely that is going to destroy the countries natural beauty much more than 6 wind turbines which are actually serving a purpose rather than just sitting there and decomposing?

Another type of energy source that is going to waste is the power of the sea you have all seen it the sea is expanding and it is taking britain with it and you cant help but feel awed by the power of the ocean and yet we cannot harness and use that power, or we can but we wont, the river severn in wales has one of the highest rise and fall rates in the world if we put a tide turbine there then according to a recent statistic there would be enough power to power birmingham for one week now that doesnt sound like alot however when you consider how many could go there then that is like powering many cities the size of birmingham and all the other places they could go aswell out off shore where the currents are strong along with wind turbines, these could produce much of out power if we diverted to using renewable engery sources it could help combat greenhouse gases granted this may not stop them however it could slow them whilst we think of ways to combat them.  
personally i have nothing againtst renewably energy sources such as tide power wind turbines and solar power but if all you people stillwont accept the change then you may aswell burn with the rest of the planet.
