Lewis wind-farm decision illustrates renewables do have a cost

Here.

Excerpt:

Media reports and a widely circulated letter suggest ministers are “minded to refuse” the application for the massive Lewis wind farm.
RSPB Scotland supports the development of renewable energy to combat climate change, but has long argued that this proposal is in the wrong place. The case has been highly controversial and, predictably, this news has sparked a backlash.

A steady drip of propaganda to discredit this decision has begun. Western Isles Council obtained a meeting with Jim Mather, the energy minister, and called for the First Minister’s intervention. On Monday, the council met in emergency session to plan its next move. The council seems to remain at odds with public opinion – a poll on the Stornoway Gazette website indicated 82 per cent backing “refusal”.
