Re: Devastation in pictures

The way the world is going, there just isnt going to be plentiful supplies of oil, gas coal, or any other of the fuel burning energies that are currently heading our planet into extinction. Anybody watch xmas lectures, glaciers melting fast, and no one has mentioned 10,000 starving penguins. In the end the argument can run and run, but we have to embrace other technologies pretty damn fast to balance the natural energy systems that are beginning to run amok in this one world which we inhabit with many other species. So, in some eyes windfarms are offensive (like them personally), but they use free non polluting energy, and we each and everyone of us, have to cut back on our use of energy, grit our teeth and accept that they will be part of our landscape. Also agree with FTC, that the people of Lewis have a right to determine their own future; there is too much nimbyism down south that starts squealing as soon as house prices might be affected because of spoiled landscape views - turbines or travellers!
