A bid to operate three wind turbines on farms in North Wales has been approved. Friends of the Earth (FoE) Wales says renewable energy should be considered by cash-strapped farmers looking to diversify. Farmers across the UK are considering a range of 'green' schemes to survive the current farming crisis and a decision by Conwy Council, north Wales, late last year to allow a farmer-owned wind farm to go ahead is being seen as a step in the right direction.
