Work begins on UKs largest wind farm
Work is to start on what will be the UKs largest windfarm at Eaglesham Moor in Scotland. Once finished the 140 turbines will output 322MW - enough to power 200000 homes. There were objections on the usual grounds (PDF) from Eaglesham Community Council but these were not supported by local authorities in the area (given that the area south of Glasgow isn’t particularly known for its natural beauty there seems to be very little to object to). So good news then, it’s a shame that more wind farm schemes can’t be carried through without a chorus of nimbyish objections.
