Lewis wind farm

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...

There's also a relevant petition on the 10 Downing St website

Like you say though Goff, when do petitions ever get listened to?

Just one currently, ironically. Scrap road pricing proposals - 1.4 million signatures, far more than all the others put together. And the govt. is going to take heed. JoePublic doesn't really want to do his bit for the environment.
