If current estimates are correct for the proposed 'take' from wind, we are to increase the power from onshore turbines to three times what is currently operating and in planning. <br /><br />And they have to go somewhere...Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-36000708220840474012011-07-11T20:13:05.413+01:002011-07-11T20:13:05.413+01:00My Auntie is buried in a small cemetery in rural S...My Auntie is buried in a small cemetery in rural Speyside. I've been up there and it's a lovely spot. Looking at that link, I can see that someone wants to put up 4 80m turbines just over a klick away. That pains me on a level I'm not quite sure I understand.Big Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718421848578901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-20072928896842881782011-07-11T19:56:46.661+01:002011-07-11T19:56:46.661+01:00Crikey Alan, (that's the polite version) will ...Crikey Alan, (that's the polite version) will there be any space left after this lot?markswalkingbloghttp://markswalkingblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-28873577579344879032011-07-11T17:33:11.699+01:002011-07-11T17:33:11.699+01:00Hi Phil

It doesn't show the full horror of what is happening.<br /><br />As soon as it is updated (expected in the next month or so according to SNH) I will post it on here though.<br /><br />Many thanks Phil<br />AlanAlan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-73603123610809493652011-07-11T17:18:40.003+01:002011-07-11T17:18:40.003+01:00Are you aware of the Scottish Natural Heritage pag...Are you aware of the Scottish Natural Heritage page here: http://www.snh.gov.uk/planning-and-development/renewable-energy/research-data-and-trends/trendsandstats/windfarm-footprint-maps/ ?<br /><br />I would search your site for it, but if there was an appropriate label to click it'd be much easier.
