Scotland has some of the most expensive electricity in Europe yet a Chinese company wants to create a huge industrial site in the north of scotland to build wind turbines, well away from any meaningful road links, major airports or sea lanes (your report, 20 October).
In spite of what Mingyang Smart Energy might tell us, there is going to be a massive influx of Chinese workers if the proposal goes ahead. Are the local hospitals and schools equipped to deal with that influx. Is there sufficient housing capacity and recreational facilities for all the workers? Does anyone in Holyrood or Westminster ever think about that or are they simply going to give China an “Overseas Territory” in Europe?
