‘Catastrophe’ warning over landmark Scots wind farm – Herald

Plans for a giant wind farm off Scotland’s Atlantic coast are facing warnings of a potential engineering “catastrophe” after a similar Irish project collapsed following fears its turbines could not survive the Atlantic.Campaigners are concerned that the country could be heading for a multi-billion pound engineering mistake with the proposed Spiorad na Mara development — also known as the N4 offshore wind farm — which would see up to 60 giant turbines, each standing more than 1,100ft tall, installed between three and eight miles off the Hebridean coast. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/26088204.catastrophe-warning-landmark-scots-wind-farm/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRtLBxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe30uklDJCVYffJIgZc8cUNJmjlCGwAj6yghIQf43Xyh_rcqTqoXINs32iSSc_aem_ECSk7SQC7UNpGp21Ro_nUA
