We must stop wind idiocy
JOHN Urquhart (Letters, October 4) seems to think it’s a good idea to place
wind turbines in the Trossachs national park. There is a reason why wind
massive, noisy, industrial machines. Anybody who has stood within 100
metres of one of these monstrosities is aware of this fact. Nobody wants
them situated anywhere near their communities.
Spraying wind turbines around Scotland’s beautiful countryside is an
abomination. If this was being done at the behest of the Westminster
Government there would be riots, but anything is acceptable with an
SNP/Green whitewash. It’s also debatable whether the supposed green
credentials stack up, taking into account the required back-up electricity
generation, the environmental damage from roads and cabling, the tonnes of
concrete and steel required in construction and the limited life of their
non-recyclable blades. This idiocy needs to stop.
