I spoke with someone, a couple of years back, who lives in Lewis, and they were - understandably - against the proposed (somewhat massive) wind farm. One of the reasons was that the turbines can't safely function if the wind is too strong. Which it so often is up there. Also (and it may be obvious by now that I've not read much of this thread!) I seem to remember that the power generated was largely for the mainland. So I, personally, thought this particular wind farm was less than ideal. And I love a wind farm, me.

Thanks for that Goffik, I'm guessing your post may be meant for me as I've mentioned Lewis a couple of times under this thread. I didn't see a massive wind farm when I was up there though we travelled quite a bit from Great Bernera to Harris and Uig - perhaps it was in the north where we didn't manage to get to. I would agree the wind is probably too strong a lot of the time for the turbines to function. I've never experienced anything quite like it - though I'm sure the locals take it in their stride.
