you are too generous, but not very well informed. windmills come with very high voltage lines causing leukemia and the rest! unlike in other countries, in Spain they never take the trouble to put them in the ground; they use sometimes wooden poles to support the lines and they cause many a forestfire.

I am informed enough to know that Windmills and solar farms are only used for supplying local towns and villages, and the power lines are rated at 10,000 or 25,000 volts so therefore the pylons only travel short distances and do not need to be the very high voltages 100.000 volts  needed to travel  long distances like gas and nuclear and Carbon power stations

Also the Spanish system uses concrete footings and concrete pylons which are put very securely into the ground, the wooden poles you mentioned are only used for 1000 volt lines and now are only found in remote areas where modernisation has not taken place, Probably Like Terra Alta and remote areas of Rural France

Join the 21st century and embrace technology like the rest of us!!
