I struggle with this issue.
I am a huge fan of birds and of nature and of Lewis and the fragile natural environment. Consequently, I am all for windfarms. Bring 'em on!
We all need electricity, and sensible people with brains in their skulls want it to be produced ethically and as carbon neutrally as poss.
So when a local says: "The environment, the landscape and the peatlands are worth far more than any wind farm" I wonder if they know what they're really saying. Without windfarms, if we continue as we are, there will be no environment, no landscape and no peatlands to enjoy because the climate WILL have changed.
