BBC on Energy Prices

This link includes a video which is worth watching. There is clip near the end showing an offshore wind farm which is enough to give shudders down the spine of anyone who thinks offshore is visually acceptable.

MP says wind farms would destroy mid-Wales

"Not even the enemies of Britain over the centuries have wrought such wanton destruction on this wondrous part of the United Kingdom”

End Quote Glyn Davies MP

What a wonderful quote!

And for this they want to destroy Scotland?

And so many beautiful and much loved places all over the world.

John Muir Trust

While on a trip to Scotland, showing support to campaigners at Blackcraig Hill and Auchencorth Moss, I saw this inscription on the wall of the Scottish Parliament. The photograph is by Henry Lewis. It reads:

"What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left
Wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet"

Gerard Manley Hopkins.

Do the politicians inside the Scottish parliament pay any attention at all to these words by Gerard Manley Hopkins? It is hard to believe that many of them do, when so many wind farms are allowed to destroy Scotland's wilderness.

Here is a BBC report about a John Muir Trust study which queries wind farm efficiency:
