Letters / Indefinite future?
Geordie, I think you are saying, should it be confirmed, the SCT wind farm project will pay for the cable to which you refer?
It sounds like you are also saying that the wind farm and the cable will last “indefinitely”?
If not, given that I have provided evidence fossil fuel energy will be abundant and will likely be even cheaper relative to “renewable” energy than it is now, who will pay for the cable’s periodic replacement so that it will continue to exist in the “indefinite future”?

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
