Wind folly
Malcolm Parkin (Letters, 3 July) in response to Joss Blamire of Scottish Renewables in Friends of The Scotsman (1 July) asks: “Does Mr Blamire really think we are that stupid?” I ask Mr Winter exactly the same question.
I frankly place very little credibility on the relentless flow of propaganda from such vested business interests. Throughout my recent holiday in the Highlands and Islands I could not look upon wind farms as a cost-effective contribution to the serious problem of CO2 emissions because we have been given no reason to believe that they are.
Instead I cannot see them as anything but machines for “enrich(ing) wealthy multinationals and landowners” (Lyndsey Ward, 3 July).
