The problem with the power that is going to be produced in the wind-farms here on Lewis is, the power is not staying here it is going direct to the national grid. The revenues generated by rents etc. are going into land owners and crofters hands - giving them yet another reason to stop using the earth as a sustainable means of living, and in many respects adding one more nail to the coffin of crofting.
Also James Lovelock's daughter is very much against windfarms, and this is a woman brought up to believe in the Gaia/Mother Earth theory. (And no I dont think its a "teenage" rebellion before you ask)
