Scotland may have less than 10 per cent of the UK population but it does
have more than 50 per cent of the UK’s onshore wind turbines, it has been
revealed.
And news that there are currently 2315 operating turbines north of the
border has angered Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale MP David Mundell.
His views on windfarms, especially in his large rural constituency, are
simply “enough is enough”.
This is backed up by the latest analysis carried out on April 11 which
showed a total of 4350 in the UK, meaning Scotland is more than pulling its
weight with the renewable energy burden.
And in addition to the windfarms already up-and-running, another 405
turbines are under construction.
