Scotland is well placed to profit from wind energy but must ensure the
beauty of its landscape is preserved.
As Scottish Conservative energy spokesman Alexander Burnett pointed out
yesterday, some people view windfarms as an “unsightly” blot on the
landscape. And they, he added, are “simply unwilling to have more turbines
foisted upon them”.
So they will doubtless be dismayed by the news that Scottish Power has sold
off its gas and hydro plants to concentrate on wind and renewables, with
plans to more than double the capacity of windfarms currently generating
electricity or under construction.
