Britain too small for wind farms

Published on 26/08/2012 00:00

THE UK is very small in comparison with many other countries, such as the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, etc. We just do not have the space to accommodate so many wind farms and single turbines without it having a devastating effect on people’s lives.

Already in Scotland there are many people who cannot even find anyone to look at their properties, let alone buy them. If the developers with the encouragement of our governments are going to continue to ruin lives then they should compensate them.

As it is, people here in Scotland and in England and Wales alike are in danger of losing everything with no recompense. This is morally wrong and cannot be allowed to continue. Not only are their financial circumstances damaged but their health and family relationships are put under enormous strain with of all of this.
