Letters / Thin end of the wedge
Sustainable Shetland’s case to try to stop the wind farm, now on hold at the Court of Session, hinges on Scottish Natural Heritage’s claim that there could be a loss of 3.7 whimbrel per annum.
True but that is only Viking Energy.
What about all the other wind farms once our £1 billion VE-dependent interconnector is established.
The Burrastow Estate cash cow, 25 more turbines.
The Ratter project, just a two of countless more.
Be under no illusion, VE is the thin end of a very large and fat wedge.
I wonder how long our recent white tailed sea eagle visitor would have survived a flight pass through Burradale.
