Sarah Mcintosh, managing director of Muirhall Energy, writes (Perspective, 5 December), “Break the logjam blocking a £9bn renewables boom”.
With the dangerous turmoil throughout the world today we trust that governments, politicians and the Ministry of Defence will always put our national and international security interests above the desperate pleadings of a commercial wind farm developer, ever eager to make even more profits out of our unspoilt rural landscapes. After all, the protected area around the Eskdalemuir facility is a relatively small area of the UK when put in the context of world security.
Ms Mcintosh claims that if all these proposed wind farms were given the green light this “would improve lives and communities for generations to come”. This must be a personal opinion because if she was to read the many responses from residents and communities to her company’s wind farm applications then it should be pretty obvious that this is not a universally held view! If you were to substitute “ruin” for “improve” this would be a more accurate majority view.
