The Central Belt doesn’t see this, but several are cottoning-on. When you step back from the good of harvesting wind to make electricity and see the industry as a whole, coupled with the industrialisation of rural Scotland, then see who is paying and who is gaining then conclude it’s unacceptable!

This is what I’m awake to. Industrialisation of rural Scotland to zero benefit of the local communities. Why do local areas not see discounted rates or other VIG for hosting wind renewable generation. And why are others starved of local infrastructure that would transform their bills & service.

So we’re swinging between extremes with no middle ground.

Yes. They just don’t plan to local community needs like Applecross. The only consideration is grid supply south with nothing for the industrialisation. There are over 100 planning applications across the Highlands with zero influence for local councils. Highlands Council being the largest inn EU.

Now we need electricity generation and supply to be more driven by community needs.
