Locals block wind farm
The Scottish Executive1 in Edinburgh has given into public pressure and blocked a Wind Farm proposed for the Western Isles of Scotland, according to the BBC2.The wind farm proposal was blocked after the Scottish Executive was flooded with 5000 letter protesting the build on the grounds of social-economic ruin and destructions to wild life.
If wind farms are continually blocked throughout the country this may lead to continuing dependency on fossil fuels and cause the UK to miss it’s targets for reducing green house gases. It may also affect cheaper green electricity prices in the future.
