Greenie Windbag Nutjobs Will Solve All Our Problems

Last week, the Scottish Executive put the kibosh on a 181-turbine wind farm, after opposition from parties concerned about the wind farm’s impact on the environment, highlighting the ongoing battle among environmentalists over wind-energy development. The Guardian reports:

 “The Scotsman reported that ‘environmental agencies welcomed the news’ of the massive wind power project's demise, thanks to concerns about impacts on rare peat bog and birdlife habitat. . . . The Lewis wind farm's impact on the landscape would have been substantial - with 181 turbines each standing 140 metres tall, erected on massive concrete bases drilled into the fragile peat surface
Similarly, the British Wind Energy Association — environmentalists all — is furious that £5m has been wasted on a failed scheme, and warns that this will damage investor confidence in new wind projects.”
Wind energy has got its work cut out for it among the greenies.
