Scottish Executive block winds farm project
BBC
1 announced today that the
Scottish Executive
2 is planning on blocking the eco-friendly
wind farm proposed for the Isle of Lewis. The proposed development would see
over 180 wind turbine towers erected across the Isle of Lewis countryside.
The Executive buckled under local pressure in the form of
5000 letters being delivered to the Scottish Executive. Local of Lewis
complained that the area would be ruin both economically and environmentally if
they to build the wind farm.
This decision shows a stark contrast between planning
policies and eco-policies in the UK government. If eco-policies and planning
are not in sync it will make it very difficult to push environmentally
energy
sources through the system hence having a knock on effect on lowering the UK’s
green house gases and bringing emissions in line with the rest of Europe.
