I'm delighted that the Scottish Government has refused planning permission to build Europe's biggest windfarm on the Isle of Lewis.
Lewis Wind Power, the energy company behind the proposals, apparently didn't comply with European law protecting sensitive environments. Despite that, what sense is there in erecting 181 turbines on the Lewis peat banks, releasing even more carbon cases into the atmosphere?
Has common sense prevailed? I suspect not.
Call me overly-suspicious if you like but expect to see Lewis Wind Power come back with a slightly smaller scheme. Has the Scottish Government done a deal? Nothing would surprise me...
