NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET - Wind power may be popular in the east of England, but the only sign spotted with an opinion in Barnstaple on the western shore was this one. CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 M | known as Marine Parade , now chockablock with res- taurants, games of chance, an Arnold Palmer Putting Course, and beautiful in- jioor gardens. It's classier than Coney Island , and far ahead of Revere Beach , but It's no Cape Cod National Seashore. Out at the end of the gi- ant Brittania Pier, which is littered with games and rides there's a coin tele- scope that can be trained on the turbines but no signs of plaques or other sources of information about the wind park. Underneath the open-grate steps leading to an outlook point , a group of young Goths all in black sits in the relative darkness, their backs to the sea. Boating canals nearby give the region a touch of Holland, as do the windmills that appear in the midst of the green landscape. In fact , when people here speak of the wind farm, they call the offshore turbines "wind- mills." Amid the hustle and bus- tle landside, it's hard to perceive much interest in the wind park. A survey of shops produced a single postcard shot of the in- stallation. The inscription on the back reads in part: "Officiallyopened in 2005,it will produce enough power annually to meet the energy demands of more than forty thousand homes." One year later, there are doubts. On Aug. 18, the Norwich Evening News re- ported that a study by the Department of Trade and Industry found that the facility -intended to power 52,400 homes - delivered for just 12,000 in 2005. But that's not stopping the wind movement.- The same story announced plans to build up to 108 turbines in Sheringham 10to 15miles offshore to service 176,000 homes. Thisarea,the easternmost in England, is being touted as fertile ground (air?) not only for wind power but also as headquarters for an Offshore Renewable Energy Centre that could tap ex- perienced workers to build and maintain renewable facilities. Great Yarmouthis planning anew outer harbor that could accommodate construction of offshore turbines. For holidaymakers, how- ever, it seems the biggest attraction of Scroby Sands is not the wind farm but the living things that share the sand flatswith the turbines. Just off the Marine Parade,a huge sign announces a boat tour to "SEE THE SEALS." There is no mention of the towers. Last Tuesday,under hazy blue skies,the Haven Cruis- er pushed off for Scroby Sands,filled tothe gunwales with people of all ages. Some ooohed and aahhed as they saw the wind park (the boat doesn't make a near approach), but most saved their enthusiasm for the colony of about 200 seals on the southern tip of the sand flats.
