Aerial photo Carnsore Point windfarm, completed in 2002. Carnsore Point was to be the
site of Ireland's first nuclear power station as a response to the energy crisis in the
1970's but due to public pressure the idea was shelved by the government.
The winfarm pictured here was the first of its kind on the east coast and consists of 14
Vesta 850kw wind turbines.
