Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

In all this, two things become clear, green energy is seen as a way to make profit by some but not all, but we do need different forms of energy. Look at hydro-fracturing and compare its consequences to the environment with the hassle of wind turbines on the horizon and I know which one I want. Again compared to nuclear power stations and the business of getting rid of radio-active material, the visuality and disruption of building turbines is something we perhaps have to live with, though the Stornoway project is to build 31 kilometres of service stone roads.
Wishing for a 'pure' view in Scotland is all good and fine but people want energy to heat and light their homes. The 'nimbyism' found in southern England, really its about how much your house will sell for if it becomes blighted by wind turbines, is perhaps not echoed in the wider reaches of the Scottish landscape, its more to do with aesthetics.....
