SCOTLAND’S wild landscape is set to be hit by hundreds of super-wind turbines being proposed across the country that are up to four times the height of the original schemes.
The Herald on Sunday can reveal that there are at least 14 major wind farm proposals that have bypassed local authorities to go straight to the Scottish Government for consideration directly on account of their size with giant turbines ranging between 720 and 850 feet tall – the equivalent of over 60 double decker buses.
Environmental campaigners are outraged by the development warning that Scotland’s world-renowned scenery faces being “wrecked” by the projects and NatureScot, the Scottish Government’s landscape and wildlife watchdog has already begun to raise concerns.https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/homenews/23250561.alarm-new-generation-super-wind-turbines-planned-scotland/?fbclid=IwAR3U7hkkblRyr5HdOfQkcY_NqshB6PDTAjRGOISxMiM3XT46qbg9CWwOwJc
