Herald letters
PHILIP Norris (Letters, July 4) wonders how many Herald readers know about the giant wind turbines installed and planned across Scotland. One could also ask how many know about the enormous battery storage, substation sites and 200-plus feet high pylons marching across Scotland that will provide the vast over-supply
required for when the wind doesn’t blow.
Scotland’s peak electricity requirement is around 6GW per day and around 48GW of onshore and offshore wind is being planned, the equivalent of buying eight cars just to be sure one of them will start in the morning.
I suspect a much higher proportion of Herald readers will know more about this lunacy than the millions of voters who don’t read a newspaper these days and rarely see any coverage on mainstream TV news programmes.
Allan Sutherland, Stonehaven.
