Fancy a Purple Wind Turbine?

I just love this.

Some research at Loughborough has suggested that white and grey, the usual colours of wind turbines, are among the colours most attractive to insects and therefore, turbines sporting these colours are the most hazardous to birds and bats feeding on the bugs. The suggestion is that purple is the optimum colour!

I can just imagine the NIMBY reaction to a proposal based on this!
