Wind Farms Gone Wild

Wind farm developments out of control and unjustified says wild land charity  

Scottish Wild Land Group calls for Independent Energy Commission and wild land designation

The Scottish Wild Land Group today published a special issue of its magazine, Wild Land News, dedicated to the issue of wind energy. The issue, ‘Wind farms gone wild: is the environmental damage justified?’, calls into question the Scottish Government’s focus on wind power as an effective method of tackling climate change. It suggests that far more needs to be done to protect Scotland’s communities, environments and landscapes from opportunistic development.

So Much Wind, by Struan Stevenson MEP

‘This is a timely and important book, coming when more and more people are beginning to realise the folly of the SNP’s plans to make Scotland the ‘Saudi Arabia of renewables’. It analyses the human, financial and environmental cost of wind turbines and shows how misguided current policy is. This should be compulsory reading for all national and local politicians, to encourage them to stop more wind turbines being erected; either that, or voters make the choice for them’ – Martin Livermore of the Scientific Alliance
