Lewis wind farm

close

has anyone seen an online petiton against this? there's only a few days left as far as I know, and it looks like its going through. I know it's probably a contentious issue, but Im against it being built there...

Couldn't agree more! There's countless places in the British Isles that would be more appropriate and efficient for a location... I'm not against wind farms by any means, but think this one is entirely inappropriate for numerous reasons...

Looks like there's a petition here:

And another one from a slightly different angle from the RSPB:

This site seems to have a lot of good info, including objection letters and a map of the proposed layout of turbines:

I presume it's a foregone conclusion, though. Someone's gonna make a wad of cash from this so it'll go ahead no matter how many people oppose it! So sad...

er, sorry to break ranks here but i think it's actually a very good thing. my girl is from the outerisles and i'm afraid to tell you that that is what the majority of people there think too..
